A Nairobi court has acquitted Boris Owiye Agonga of all charges in a criminal case that accused him of forging company documents to facilitate the transfer of two vehicles belonging to Digitalent Systems Limited.
The ruling brings to an end a case that had been before the Milimani Magistrates Court and involved allegations of forged board resolutions, disputed signatures and alleged irregular transfers processed through the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
Agonga had faced multiple charges including stealing by director, making and uttering alleged forged documents and obtaining registration by false pretence.
The prosecution’s case centered on claims that minutes purportedly authorizing the transfer of two company vehicles into Agonga’s name had been fraudulently prepared without the knowledge or approval of a co-director of the company.
The disputed vehicles included a Land Rover Discovery registration number KDL 560Z valued at approximately Ksh6.8 million and a Nissan Sylphy registration number KCZ 648X valued at about Ksh1.2 million.
During earlier proceedings before Senior Principal Magistrate Teresia Nyangena, a forensic document examiner attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) testified that signatures appearing on the disputed company minutes appeared to have been authored by different individuals.
Inspector Vincent Chilongo, a forensic document examiner based at DCI headquarters along Kiambu Road, had told the court that his analysis raised questions regarding the authenticity of the signatures submitted for examination.
The court also heard testimony from investigators attached to the DCI Serious Crime Unit who stated that NTSA records showed the two vehicles had been transferred into Agonga’s name on June 12, 2025 based on documents presented to the authority.
Investigators further told the court that the vehicles had originally been purchased by Digitalent Systems Limited through separate sale agreements from motor vehicle dealers.
The complainant in the matter had denied convening any board meeting authorizing the transfers and maintained that the signatures appearing on the alleged minutes were not his.
However, after considering the evidence presented before court, the magistrate ultimately acquitted Agonga of all the charges.
The acquittal now closes a case that had attracted considerable attention both within legal circles and in Funyula political discussions where Agonga’s name had increasingly featured in local political debates.
