Johnstone Mutua Ndelo has denied charges of obtaining money by false pretenses.
Mr. Mutua is said to have acquired Sh.3.8 Million from Rose Adhiambo Odida by pretending that he was in a position to help her secure recruitment slots during the National Police Service and KDF recruitment exercises.
He was released on Sh.500,000 and a surety of Sh.300,000 cash bail alternative.
His arraignment comes after three KDF service personnel arraigned at a Court Martial in Kahawa Garrison for various recruitment malpractices that they indulged in between 2013 and 2021.
They all denied the charges and their cases were adjourned to give them sufficient time to prepare their defenses before a pre-trial session on 19 August 2021.
Investigations by the Military Police linked the three to the vices and have since played a pivotal role in facilitating the indictment of the accused persons.
