Former Interior Security Principal Secretary Dave Munya Mwangi has been charged with fraudulently acquiring a parcel of land along Mombasa Road.
The ex-PS was charged with fraudulently acquiring the piece of land after forging a title deed with the help of a rogue official at the Ministry of Lands.
The arrest and subsequent arraignment were made following investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Land Fraud Investigators, who were investigating a complaint made by the victim of the land fraud.
“In the case, the accused had jointly with two others – Sammy Louis Karanja and Moses Ojuka (former employee at the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning) – forged documents of a 1.591Ha parcel of land into the names of companies owned by Mwangi Munya, before leasing the same to a Chinese company at sh12 million,” said the DCI.
The three were charged with three counts of conspiracy to defraud, uttering a false document, and forgery of a title.
“Dave Munya Mwangi, the Director Olbolsat Farm Limited was arrested and arraigned at Milimani Law Courts, where he took a plea of not guilty and was slapped with a bond of sh20 million with the alternative of a cash bail of sh5 million,” said the DCI.
Police are in pursuit of his two accomplices, Sammy Karanja and Moses Ojuka, who are currently at large.
