Court gives DPP final chance to provide evidence in Ksh.350 million fraud case

Milimani Chief Magistrate Dolphina Alego on Monday directed the prosecution to avail all necessary documents to the defence by Thursday this week, warning that no further delays will be tolerated.

The case involves former company director Honey Khatwani, who was arraigned in June 2025 and charged with defrauding OKI General Trading Limited of approximately Ksh.356.7 million.

According to the charge sheet, Khatwani is accused of stealing USD 2,786,174.40 — roughly equivalent to Ksh.356,711,174.40 — from the company between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2024, while serving as a director at the firm’s offices in Nairobi County.

During Monday’s proceedings, Khatwani’s lawyers complained that the prosecution had yet to supply the documentary evidence and materials intended to be relied upon during the trial, despite earlier court directions.

Khatwani is currently out on Ksh. 5 million bail or an alternative bond of Ksh.10 million.

The matter will be mentioned on July 10.
