The Milimani Magistrates court has fixed June 15 and 17, 2026, as the hearing dates in a Ksh106 million fraud case involving businessman and politician Jonathan Ngenga Ndisya and his co accused, Peter Kamau.
The matter came up before Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina on Monday, March 2, 2026, for purposes of scheduling the hearing.
An earlier hearing slated for February 20, 2026, had been adjourned due to the absence of Ngenga’s advocate.
Ngenga informed the court that his lawyer had travelled upcountry to attend to an emergency, making it impossible for him to appear.
“Your Honour, my advocate has not been able to attend today’s court after he got an emergency from his upcountry and had to rush home to attend to it. It’s my prayer we postpone the hearing to another date,” Ngenga told the court.
The court subsequently set the matter down for hearing in mid-June.
According to counsel Joseph Mwanthi, who represents the second accused, the case is nearing conclusion.
Ngenga, listed as a director of Joncil Enterprises and Kamau, identified as an accountant at Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited, were charged in 2020 with conspiracy to defraud contrary to Section 317 of the Penal Code, obtaining money by false pretences and related offences.
The prosecution alleges that between July 1, 2018 and March 31, 2020, the two jointly conspired to defraud Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited of Ksh106,822,690.
It is alleged they falsely represented that Joncil Enterprises had deposited the amount into the company’s bank account as payment for goods supplied.
Ngenga faces an additional count of obtaining money by false pretences, with the prosecution claiming that between July 1, 2018 and March 12, 2020, he falsely asserted that the funds had been deposited into the Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited account.
Kamau, on his part, faces further charges, including allegations that he fraudulently transferred Ksh4,777,094 to his personal account between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, funds said to have come into his possession by virtue of his employment at Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited.
He is also accused of stealing Ksh3,500,000 from Desire Flora (K) Limited, where he was employed as an accountant, by allegedly transferring the money to his personal account during the course of his duties.
In another count, Kamau is charged with fraudulent false accounting, accused of making entries to show that Joncil Enterprises had paid Ksh106,822,690 to Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited when no such payment had been made.
The case will now proceed to full hearing in June as scheduled.
