A woman has been charged for conning a job seeker sh 150,000
in the pretence of securing employment for the man overseas.
The man allegedly paid the sum of money in several installments
last year with the hope of acquiring employment in Afghanistan.
Lucy Wanjiru Maina appeared before a Makadara court to take
her plea. She denied charges of obtaining money by false pretence within Nairobi.
Prosecution states that the money was received on diverse
dates between November 17 th and
December 12 th last year at Roasters Inn in Kasarani.
She allegedly took sh 150,000 from Julius Ndirangu with the
intent to defraud by falsely pretending
she would connect him to a job through a local organization, Kenya Seafearers.
The money was paid by virtue of him being secured employment
in Afghanistan,
a fact the suspect knew to be false contrary to section 313 of the penal code.
The case will be heard on 15 th November this year at the same court.
