Two men have been charged in a Nairobi court with conspiring to steal more than Ksh 4.8 million from Bitech Savanna Limited.
The accused, Elphas Mutuma and Willy Malonza, appeared before the court where they were accused of conspiring to steal Ksh 4,819,000 from the company on July 12, 2022, within Nairobi County.
The prosecution alleged that the two jointly executed the theft based on the same set of facts. When the charges were read to them, both suspects denied the allegations.
In its ruling, the court held that there was no legal barrier preventing the accused persons from taking plea, noting that any legal or constitutional issues they wished to raise could be addressed before the High Court.
The magistrate granted each of the accused cash bail of Ksh 100,000 pending trial. The case is scheduled for mention on November 25, 2025, for pretrial directions.
