Milimani principal magistrate Benmark Ekhubi will sentence Abdoulaye Tamba Kouro as the prosecution is expected to produce his pre-sentence report.
Tamba who was charged with four counts was acquitted in October in an offence of obtaining Sh76 million from Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana.
The magistrate said the prosecution failed to prove their case against him.
He was, however, found guilty of having papers intended to resemble and pass as currency notes.
The charge sheet stated that on October 1, 2018, at Sandalwood apartment, Westlands, with others not before court had in his possession 54,000 pieces of forged US dollars, 19,000 pieces of EURO, and another 3400 pieces of EURO.
They were all valued at Sh960 million.
Benmark similarly found him guilty on the count of forgery and another count of obtaining money by false pretence from a man identified as Makau Muteke.
The court said the prosecution proved beyond doubt that the accused with intent to defraud obtained from Makau Sh700,000 by falsely pretending he was in a position to invest for him in a business.
The politician who was the first witness in the case gave a testimony of how he sold his property and gave the money to the man who lied that he would help him invest it and give returns.
But Tamba had denied being in any oil industry business and receiving money from Mungatana.
In his defence, he submitted that no evidence was produced by the politician to show that he sold his properties.
He said there was also nothing to show he received any money from Mungatana.
