Businessman Samuel Yongo was on Tuesday charged with conspiracy to obtain Sh2.1 million from a businesswoman.
Yongo was accused that on dates between February 9 and 26, 2021 jointly conspired with another to obtain a credit of Sh2.1 million by false pretence from Joyce Cherotich Rono.
The two are alleged to have obtained the said credit from the complainant by falsely pretending that they would transfer two motor vehicles as security.
Yongo is also alleged to have forged a demand letter drawn and signed by A. Kwengu and Advocates of the High Court of Kenya a fact he knew to be false.
He was further charged with obtaining one table, three chairs and an IMac27 desktop all valued at Sh220,000 the property of Joyce Rono.
Additionally, he faced another charge of pretending to be an advocate of the High Court of Kenya.
The prosecution alleged that Yongo being the unqualified person to be an advocate, willfully pretended to act for Joyce Rono to demand an outstanding debt of Sh62.2 million owed to her from Abdikahinya Noor Maalim.
The second accused person, Joseph Bondo Otumba was not present in court for plea taking.
Yongo appeared before Milimani trial magistrate R.M Ndombi and denied the charges.
