A former University of Nairobi Students’ Association (UNSA) Chairman has been charged with attempting to obtain Sh 1 million in the name of Justice Daniel Musinga, the president of the Court of Appeal.
Anthony Muchui Manyara is accused of attempting to obtain USD 6,750 (apprx Sh 1,031,197.50) from Mary Wagaki Muthumbi by falsely pretending that he had been sent by Hon. Justice Daniel K. Musinga so as to constitute a favourable three judge bench to hear her case number COACAPPL/E561/2023 and grant the prayer to file the appeal out of time as sought by her lawyer, a fact he knew to be false.
Manyara who also served as the Kenya University Student Association (KUSO) Chairman and later the East African Students Union (EASU) Chairperson is alleged to have committed the offence on 28th November 2023 at around 1900 hrs at Artcaffe restaurant at The Hub Karen in Nairobi County.
He denied the charges before Chief Magistrate Bernard Ochoi and was released on a cash bail of Sh 100, 000.
