Uhuru imposters released on a bond of Ksh 200,000 each

The seven men accused of impersonating President Uhuru Kenyatta are out on Sh200,000 bond each.

They have denied defrauding Sameer Africa Finance chief Akif Hamid of Sh10 million.The city tycoon lost Sh10 million to the men who impersonated President Uhuru in a purported land transaction.

William Simiyu, David Luganya, Gilbert Kirunja, Duncan Muchai, Isaac Wajekeche, Joseph Waswa, and Anthony Wafula hatched an almost foolproof ‘State House’ syndicate, according to the prosecution.

The suspects gave the number of an Equity Bank account into which he wired Sh10 million.

  “The complainant (Akif) was contacted by fraudsters using several telephone numbers purportedly from President Uhuru Kenyatta. The complainant realized he had been dealing with fraudsters after he had lost his Sh10 million,” said Mr Mwangi.
