A former officer of Afya Sacco Society Limited was arraigned in court today, facing charges of stealing more than Ksh 55 million from the organization.
Patrick Muithi Muthangya appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Dolpina Alego at the Milimani Law Courts, where he was formally charged with the theft, which allegedly occurred over a five-year period from December 2016 to November 2021.
According to the prosecution, Muthangya, along with two other suspects who are already on trial, stole Ksh 55,649,000 from Afya Sacco Society Limited. The alleged theft took place at the society’s offices in Nairobi County on various dates between December 8, 2016, and November 1, 2021.
In addition to the theft charge, Muthangya was also accused of conspiring to steal the same amount from the Sacco.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on a cash bail of Ksh 1 million pending the outcome of the trial.
