A couple accused of orchestrating a multi-million-shilling pension fraud scheme has been released on bail in Kibera court. Alex Okoth Nalwenje and Esther Nyambura Kamande appeared before Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo and pleaded not guilty to 41 charges. Nalwenje was granted a bond of Sh3 million, while Kamande was released on a bond of Sh1 million with one surety of the same amount or an alternative cash bail of Sh1 million.
They were also directed to surrender their passports and report to the investigating officer monthly. Prosecutors allege the couple, along with others not present in court, entered false names into pension payrolls, allowing them to receive retirement and other benefits fraudulently. The charges include conspiracy to defraud, false pretences, fraudulent accounting, and offenses related to the proceeds of crime. The case will be heard again on November 17, 2026, for pre-trial directions.
