A Complainant in a criminal case where Two directors of TRV Towers limited are charged with stealing Sh 112 million now wants bond terms of the accused persons be enhance for allegedly interfering with witnesses.
When the case came up for mention before Milimani principal magistrate Ben Mark, the complainant, through its lawyer who is Ex-High Court judge Joseph Mutava informed the court that the two accused persons have been interfering with witnesses at the company’s building.
Lawyer Mutava told the court that his client wants bond terms imposed on the two accused persons be reviewed and enhanced or amend it. The accused persons are out on cash bail of Sh 150,000 each.
However, the magistrate directed the case to be mentioned on January 27, to enable a state prosecutor to supply defence with the same documents before setting the date of hearing of the application.
Tribhovan Anlalji Chavada and his son Jayesh Rribovan Chavda, both directors of TRV Towers limited have since denied stealing Sh 112 million from the company.
According to the charge sheet, the two directors on diverse dates between October 18, 2019 and July 31, 2023 allegedly stole sh 112 M, money which came to his possession by virtue of his employment as the managing director TRV Towers.
Tribhovan Anlalji Chavada was charged alongside his son Jayesh Rribovan Chavda for allegedly conspiring to defraud TRV Towers limited Ksh 112M.
They both faced another charge of unlawfully making Bank of Baroda account opening documents purporting them to be genuine.
Earlier counsel Justice Mutava representing the Victim in court urged the court to impose stringent bail terms given the colossal amount of money believed to have been stolen by the two accused directors.
He also informed the court that the accused directors holds dual citizenship for United Kingdom and Kenya and hence the propensity of fleeing from the Jurisdiction of the Court was very high.
Mutava had pleaded with the Court to order the accused persons to deposit their passports in Court until the case is heard and determined.
