Renowned Kenyan Businessman Faces Multiple Charges, Including Forgery and Conspiracy

by Irene Onyango

Renowned Kenyan businessman is facing multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit a felony, giving false information to a public officer, and forgery, among others.

Christiantus Philip Okeyo <span;>Obure appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitumbi and denied all the charges leveled against him.

According to the prosecution, between June 12, 2017, and October 9, 2023, Obure conspired with others, who are not before the court, to commit forgery with the intent to deceive and defraud AC & Others Company Ltd.

According to the chargesheet in court, Obure on February 9, 2024, at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Headquarters, Serious Crimes Unit, provided false information to CI Geoffrey Ndatho, a public officer.

He allegedly claimed to have entered into an agreement for the sale of Senteu Plaza, a building located on LR No. 1/1373, with the directors of AC & Others Ltd.

The charge sheet further alleges that Obure knowingly provided false information, claiming the agreement was based on a Binding Board Resolution purportedly signed by Chandul Shah, a director of AC & Others Ltd, and stamped with the company’s official seal.

The prosecution argues that this false information could have misled the officer and undermined the course of justice.

The court also heard that between June 12, 2017, and October 9, 2023, Obure forged the Binding Board Resolution to make it appear as if it was signed and stamped by Chandul Shah.

Additionally, he is accused of presenting the forged document at the DCI Headquarters on February 10, 2024.

Following his arraignment, the court released Obure on a bond of Sh500,000 or an alternative cash bail of Sh200,000.

The case is scheduled for mention on February 11, 2025.
