The lawyer who commissioned the famous Josephine Kabura’s controversial affidavit on National Youth Service (NYS) scandal seven years ago is at the centre of a Sh11 million fraud case.
Ongoing negotiations
Lawyer Daniel Bosire Kirera was yesterday charged before Milimani Law Courts with defrauding a top Pakistan government official Iftekhar Ahmad Aziz Sh11 million in a fake water project.
Lawyer Bosire together with businessman John Martin Chege Kamau were charged after Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina (pictured) declined to have the plea deferred to pave the way for an out-of-court settlement.
“I decline to have the matter deferred for a month to enable Bosire and Kamau complete the ongoing negotiations. I direct the two accused persons to answer to the charges as nothing bars the court from proceeding with plea taking,” Onyina ruled.
Magistrate Onyina ordered the lawyer and the businessman to be released on Sh1 million bond or Sh100,00 each.
The case will be mentioned on September 5 for pre-trial and to confirm whether the parties have settled the case out of court. BY PEOPLE’S DAILY
