Faith Mwikali Ndiwa faced Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi on Monday, May 27, 2024, where she denied eight charges of forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) informed the court that Mwikali used her companies, Ashley Dylan Limited and Faizel Limited, to deceive Nigerian national Jude Olabayo Veracruz into investing Ksh 25 million in a supposed tender to supply Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
Mwikali is accused of forging a framework contract and an amendment to the agreement to bolster her claims.Between June and December 2022, she allegedly obtained the money from Veracruz fraudulently in Nairobi County.The prosecution opposed her release on bond, requesting additional time for the police to submit an affidavit detailing reasons for denying bail.Mwikali’s defense argued for her release, asserting her constitutional right and claiming she was not a flight risk.
