NAIROBI, Kenya — A company director has been charged with allegedly stealing KSh2.1 million belonging to a company in a case before a Makadara court.
Christine Njeri Wanjiru appeared before trial magistrate Juliana Ndengeri on Friday and was charged with stealing by a director, contrary to Section 282 of the Penal Code.
According to the charge sheet, Wanjiru allegedly committed the offence on diverse dates between June 15 and August 11, 2026, at an unspecified location within Kenya.
The prosecution alleges that Wanjiru, being a director of the company, fraudulently stole KSh2.1 million belonging to the firm.
Wanjiru was arrested on August 27, 2026, before being presented in court the following day.
During the bail hearing, the prosecution asked the court to consider the amount allegedly stolen when determining her release terms.
