The hearing of a case where former Kebs managing director Bernard Njiraini was charged with theft of condemned sugar worth Sh200 million will proceed today.

Njiraini was in May last year charged alongside seven others with conspiracy to steal a condemned consignment.

Njiraini, suspended KRA officials Joseph Kaguru and Derrick Kago were charged together with Peter Mwangi, Chrispus Waithaka, Mohammed Ali, Abdi Yusuf and Pollyanne Njeri.

They were accused of conspiring to steal condemned brown sugar valued at Sh20,064,000 that was intended to be used as raw material for the distillation of industrial ethanol.

They have all denied the charges and are out on Sh400 bail each.

The hearing is scheduled to proceed before Milimani chief magistrate Lucas Onyina.

Billionaire Doshi's case

In the same court, billionaire Ashok Doshi is expected to be issued with further directions in a case where he is charged with land fraud.

Doshi and his company Magnum Properties Limited were charged with four counts of land fraud, forging land documents and forcefully taking over the land worth millions of shillings located at Nairobi's Processional Way.
