A Nairobi businessman, Benson Ritho Muriithi, was arraigned in court on Monday and charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.
The court heard that between August 23, 2011 and September 30, 2014, the accused obtained Ksh.5 million from Francis Njoroge Muya by pretending that he was in apposition to sell to him a parcel of land, yet he knew it was false.
Muriithi appeared before Magistrate Martha Mutuku and pleaded not guilty to the offence.
He was released on a cash bail of Ksh.1 million and the case was set for mention on March 22, 2021.
