A Magistrates court has ordered a transgender who denied claims of obtaining credit by false pretenses, to be remanded at a separate cell at Central Police Station.
After confessing to the court that she is transgender, Katie Antonina Wanjiku alias Stephen Kamotho said she fears for her life if she is remanded at Industrial Area Remand or Lang’ata Women's prison.
Allegedly, between December 16 last year and February 3 this year, at Marble Arch Hotel Limited, she obtained a credit of Sh488,510 from the said hotel under the pretence that she would pay Sh1 million to cater until March 31 this year, yet she knew it was false.
Katie however denied the charge before Milimani Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku.
The court granted her Sh200,000 cash bail which she said she cannot afford.
In response, Mutuku ordered for a probation report to in the event she is unable to post bail.
The case will be mentioned on February 16.
