Woman charged over alleged Sh2.1mn theft
Christine Njeri Wanjiru appeared before trial Magistrate Juliana Ndengeri on Friday where she was charged with stealing by director contrary to Section 282 of the Penal Code.
A company director has been charged with allegedly stealing Sh2.1 million from her company, according to prosecutors in Kenya. On Friday, Christine Njeri Wanjiru appeared before a Makadara court, where she was charged with theft by director under Section 282 of the Penal Code. The charge sheet alleges that Wanjiru committed the offense between June 15 and August 11, 2026, at an undisclosed location within Kenya.
The prosecution claims that Wanjiru, as a director of the company, stole the company's property of Sh2.1 million. She was arrested on August 27, 2026, and presented in court the following day.
During the bail proceedings, the prosecution argued that the alleged amount of money stolen was significant and requested the court to take this into account when determining the terms for granting bail. The accused denied the charges and was released on a bond of Sh1 million or pay a cash bail of Sh1 million. The case is set to be mentioned again on December 2.
