PROMINENT BUSINESSMAN CHARLES ONDIEKI NYABUTO ACQUITTED

By Chris Ojow

Senior Principal Magistrate Muthoni

Njagi while acquitting a prominent

businessman Charles Ondieki Nyabuto,

stressed that the State prosecution

failed to prove their case.

The court also established that the

accused was indeed owed money by the

complainant contrary to allegations in

the charge sheet, and during the trial

through the accused submission filed

before court, it turned out that it was

the complainant who owed the accused and

intentionally refused to pay .

The complainant Maurice Owiti after

refusing to pay for his goods to be

cleared used an illegal means to

intimidate the accused whereby the

accused ended up being charged at

Milimani lower criminal court with

allegations of fraud.

It was Established that value of

transaction was $2.5m where by $1.5m was

paid and balances owned to the accuser

was $1m in which there was a written

agreement and was presented in court.

When goods arrived at the port the

complainant did not have the balance but

paid only 10m ksh in which the accused

refused to release the containers .it’s

for these reason that complainant

allegedly used blackmail means but never

materialized.

He was accused of obtaining the money

from Maurice Owiti by falsely

pretending that he was in a position to

clear containers from the port of

Mogadishu.
