Four employees of Kaluworks Limited have been charged with stealing over Sh 31 million from the company.
Esbon Wamathu Wandugo, Albert Kiptanui Kosgei, Mary Wamoyo Muriuki and Godfrey Otieno Owino are accused of stealing Sh 31,053,520 from Kaluworks, money which got into their possession by virtue of their employment.
The four are alleged to have committed the offense on diverse dates between January 2024 and September 2025 at Makadara Sub-County within Nairobi.
In addition, the accused persons are charged with false accounting, money laundering and acquisition of proceeds of crime.
The court heard that the four willfully and with intent to defraud, falsified accounting records of the said company by omitting material particulars in financial documents including payment vouchers, cashbooks and ledger accounts, thereby misrepresenting the true financial position of the company and causing a financial loss of Sh 31,053,520.
On the money laundering charge, the suspects are said to have knowingly engaged in a transaction involving the Sh 31,053,520 being proceeds of crime fraudulently obtained from Kaluworks Limited, by depositing the said funds into personal and third-party bank accounts with intent to conceal and disguise the nature, source, ownership and movement of the said funds.
They denied the charges before Principal Magistrate Rose Ndobi and were granted a cash bond of Sh 3 million with alternative cash bail of Sh 500,000 each.
The case will be mentioned on 5th March 2026.
