charges relating to the fraudulent registration of land.
According to the charge sheet, the
MP is to be charged alongside two others: Shelmith Karungri Maina and Gathii

persons, jointly with others not before the court, conspired to defraud land
parcel reference No. RUIRU EAST/JUJA EAST BLOCK 2/36, the property of Julius
