The Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution through the state counsel at Kibera Law courts has moved the court in an application to oppose the release on bail, of a house help accused of stealing Ksh104 million from her employer.
The prosecutor claims that the house help, Shellomett Kiprono Jerop, is a flight risk as she fled from Lang’ata in Nairobi to Baringo County after stealing from her employer and has no fixed and known place of abode.
“Witnesses have also been interfered with. There is also an allegation that the accused persons are from one family. Which is enough reason for them to escape as a family,” Submitted the state counsel.
Jerop is charged alongside Caleb Nagomere Rasto, Agaziva Brain Kenneth, Jackline Minayo Kinzi, and Eunice Akinyi Moi with the said crime.
In an affidavit by Hellen Koech,the investigating officer, the court heard that the theft was reported by Athanus Mutiso Makau an employee of Impression Advertising Limited on behalf of Samar Alkindy the complainant.
Alkindy is a resident of Lang’ata and she had left the country on April 29 for Oman,her home Country, to visit her husband leaving behind the said househelp to take care of the homestead.
On May 5, Mutiso accompanied by his colleague Dickson Aseka drove to the residence of Alkindy where they were scheduled to meet some contractors but on arrival, they found the compound locked from the outside.
The househelp was not at home and she was unreachable on her two cell phone numbers.
The court allowed the prosecution application.
