Two directors of Kisumu’s United Millers Limited who are accused of conspiring to defraud B.N Kotecha and Sons Limited close to Sh 80 million have been put on their defense after the court ruled that they have to answer.
Sunil Narshi Shah and Kamal Narshi are charged alongside their company, Henry Musyoka Kavita and Sales manager Magnesh Kumar Varma with conspiracy to defraud. They are alleged to have lied that they lost business as United Millers Limited to their clients by failure to supply sugar.
City court Chief Magistrate Roseline Aganyo ruled that she was satisfied that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the suspects.
“I hereby order all the accused persons to defend themselves in the matter,” ruled the magistrate.
