Nairobi businessman Walter Wekhanya Keya has been charged by the Director of Public Prosecutions with three offences totaling Ksh15.1 million in fraud. In court, Keya pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money through false pretence, and possession of proceeds of crime. The alleged fraud took place between May and October 2023 at a location in Nairobi.
Keya and others are accused of falsely claiming they could invest Ksh15.1 million in a business venture, leading to the theft of Ksh15.1 million from Constant Wanyonyi. The prosecution has not opposed Keya's release on bond or bail, granting him a Ksh10 million bond with a similar surety amount or an alternative cash bail of Ksh5 million.
