The State has initiated extradition proceedings against a 39-year-old Chinese national, Chen Guang, accused of defrauding Uganda of UGX 4,533,379,400 (approximately Sh151 million). Guang is alleged to have manipulated weighbridge bills and payment vouchers while working as a cashier at Diamond Steel Uganda Limited. The request for extradition was submitted to Kenya on April 18, 2025, by Uganda, following a formal request received by the Director of Public Prosecutions on June 10, 2026.
Guang was apprehended at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on August 11, 2026, during his arrival from Harare, Zimbabwe. He faces 30 counts of forgery and one count of theft. Prosecutors argue that Guang poses a flight risk, urging the court to order his surrender to Uganda.
