A Nairobi businessman, Joshua Kimaita Kirera, has been charged in a KSh 200 million land fraud case involving forged documents and conspiracy to defraud.
Kimaita appeared before Milimani Magistrate Dolphinah Alego, where he pleaded not guilty to seven counts, including forgery and fraud.
Bail Application and Court Proceedings
The prosecution, led by the DPP, did not oppose his release on bail but asked the court to set bond terms proportionate to the seriousness of the offence.
Kimaita’s defense lawyer argued for bail, citing his client’s cooperation with the court and presenting medical documents to explain his earlier failure to appear for plea taking.
Magistrate Alego directed that a pre-bail report be prepared before setting bond terms. The case will be mentioned again on September 15, 2025 for directions.
Arrest Warrant for Second Accused
Meanwhile, the court extended a warrant of arrest against the second accused, David Omondi Opondo, who failed to appear for plea taking for the third time.
Allegations of Fraudulent Land Deal
According to the charge sheet, Kimaita and others allegedly conspired, on or before February 28, 2023, to defraud Pinnacle Business School Limited of its land parcel Kajiado/NTASHART/1583, measuring 8.611 hectares and valued at KSh 200 million.
It is alleged that fraudulent documents were presented in Kajiado ELC Miscellaneous Application No. 976/2017, which led the court to direct the Ngong Land Registrar to issue a land title to Super Drill International Ltd.
Kimaita also faces several forgery-related charges, all of which he denied.
