Lawyer Joseph Mulyungi Munyithya and Farid Mohamed Almaary
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has directed the Makupa Police Station to charge lawyer Joseph Mulyungi Munyithya and Farid Mohamed Almaary with fraud-related offenses in a disputed KSh 25 million land transaction.
Pauline Kanini Mutiso, Regina Mumo Mutiso, and Kilungya Mutiso entered into a sale agreement with Almaary on 19th May 2021 for a plot in Shelly Beach.
The agreement required full payment within 90 days, but the complainants later discovered that Munyithia had released the original certificate of lease to Almaary without their consent and before the full amount had been paid.
The complainants tried to recover the document but failed. ODPP has now accused Munyithia of conspiring with Almaary to defraud the sellers.

The two suspects failed to honor police summons, raising suspicions of criminal intent.
ODPP has ordered their prosecution for stealing under Section 268(2)(a) as read with Section 275 of the Penal Code and concealing deeds under Section 288 of the Penal Code.
