A businesswoman who allegedly forged a letter from a company and sent it to a bank for a closure of its account was on Thursday charged before a Makadara Court.
Judy Wahome was accused that with intent to defraud, without lawful authority, made a letter purporting to be from the said company and issued it to a bank in Kitengela for the closure of its three accounts.
The court said she did that knowing not to be true.
She allegedly committed the offence on October 7, 2022, within the country.
Wahome faced a second count that on the same dates in Kitengela subcounty in Kajiado she knowingly and fraudulently uttered a false document.
Wahome appeared before Makadara trial magistrate Mary Njagi and denied the charges.
She pleaded for lenient bond terms and requested witness statements from the prosecution.
However, lawyer Kabao Nyaga watching brief for the complainant urged the court to consider the nature of the offence while granting bail terms.
The accused was released on a cash bail of Sh40,000.
The case will be mentioned on July 1 for pretrial.
