Former Nairobi Provincial Commissioner Davis Nathan Chelogoi has been found guilty of conspiracy to defraud a land parcel worth Sh1.35 billion in Kabete. The court ruled that Chelogoi conspired with businessman Ashok, Rupshi Shah, and Hitebkumar Amritlal Raja to steal the Nairobi/Block/80/44 parcel, located along Lower Kabete Road and measuring around 7.390 hectares.
He was convicted of multiple offenses, including conspiracy to defraud, forcible detainer, two counts of forgery, and an additional count of uttering a forged document. Chelogoi forged a letter of allotment dated January 31, 1995, seemingly genuine but proven to be fraudulent. On October 11, 2023, at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters in Kiambu County, he knowingly used forged documents, including a letter of allotment and a certificate with a forged signature and stamp impression.
The prosecution called nineteen witnesses, presented documentary and expert evidence, and argued five counts against Chelogoi. Chief magistrate Dolphina Alego revoked bond conditions, remanded Chelogoi in Nairobi Remand, and ordered the land register to cancel any parallel land titles or registrations. The property is now legally recognized as belonging to the three individuals.
