City lawyer Nelson Ndalila is involved in a Sh59 million fraud, but he has yet to officially take a plea. The advocate is said to have forged a document before using it to defraud the said amount.
Yesterday, Ndalila failed to appear in court on Friday before Milimani magistrate Dolphina Alego, who ordered that he appear on Tuesday, May 5th. The lawyer watching brief for the complainant, Andrew Muge, objects to the move of the accused’s lawyer to have the plea deferred on medical grounds.
According to the DC accused person was arrested on Thursday and was due to appear in court last week, but he failed. The court heard that the accused person had been using funny, dubious means to delay his Ndalila. He was charged in court with four counts, including, and is already out on a police cash bail of Ksh 50,000.
According to the main count, it’s alleged that on the 2nd day of June 2023, at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya, jointly with others not before court with intent to defraud, you made a certain document, namely, a trust deed for Better Life Family Trust dated 2nd June 2023, purporting to be a genuine trust deed for the properties of the late David Jonathan Grantham, a fact you knew to be false.
The court was also informed that, on June 2, 2023, at an undisclosed location in the Republic of Kenya, they and other individuals who were not in court had forged a trust deed under the name Better Life Family Trust to illegally obtain Ksh 59,000,000/= in benefits from the estate of the late David Jonathan Grantham.
