A Member of the Murang’a County Assembly (MCA) was arrested for defrauding Ksh3 Million in fake deal using a Chinese company.
DCI detectives revealed that Kagunduini Ward MCA Peter Mburu Muthoni had been apprehended in Murang’a after defrauding his victim almost Ksh3 Million.
Mburu, with false pretense, had allegedly offered his victim a tender to supply ballast to a Chinese company.
“The suspect together with others he had introduced as an ‘Engineer’and a ‘senior staff’ at the Chinese company forged an agreement for the supply of ballast and in the process, they defrauded the victim the said amount,” the sleuths stated.
Among the charges facing the MCA is making a document without authority.
“Detectives are doing everything possible to bring the other suspects to justice,” DCI added.
The suspect is in lawful custody and will be arraigned in court on Tuesday.
The controversial politician has been in the centre of several fraud cases having been charged in court for various charges.
In 2018, Mburu was charged in a Nairobi court for obtaining over Ksh1.2 Million by false pretense from Gatitu Self-Help Group.
Prior to that, he was charged in court with defrauding Alice Peninah Wanjiku Guchu Ksh2.2 Million by pretending that he was in a position to sell her a vehicle.
He was also charged with forging and making a national identity card in the name of Solomon Kamau Nyingi.
