WOMAN REARRESTED FOR FRAUD WITH IRISH MAN

A woman suspected of conning goods valued at over sh 14.4 million was
dramatically rearrested outside a court for another case of similar
crimes.

The middle aged woman was ushered into a motor vehicle by CID officers
shortly after she secured cash bail on another case currently pending
at the Makadara court.

Before her re-arrest Harriet Karambu was charged alongside an Irish
man Bryne Cathal alias James Elgin. They were  accused of producing
fake LPO's to local companies in the name of being a Non governmental
Organisation  established along Thika road .

In the case that accused them of obtaining over sh 14 million Karambu
acquired a bond of sh 500,000 but the Irish man was denied bail until
he could access a Kenyan surety of the same amount.

However, moments after  her release from the dock she was recaptured
to facilitate investigations in another case.  They allegedly conned
Somali businessmen obtained goods valued at over sh 11.4 million .
They failed to pay the required amount of money after accessing over
150 bags of maize and 800 bags of beans from the business men.

This comes within two months of their appearance before the High court
where they faced charges of sh 1.7 million fraud . They failed to pay
for 34 laptops of from two businessmen at west lands between August and
September last year. The high court further clarified that the Irish
man was illegally transacting business in Kenya without a work permit.

The two are also facing additional charges of conspiring to commit a
felony before the Makadara courts. They are to appear in court alongside
Eunice Karibe who applied for a court order from the high court barring police
 from arresting her. They allegedly stole 1000 cartons of soap,1000 cartons of
 cooking fat all valued at over sh 4.000,000 from Violet Akoth between 15 th
and 22nd June this year.

The complainants told the press that media reports  concerning the
suspects court appearance caused an alarm. They realized that they
were victims of fraud. So far the three suspects have at least four
court cases before the high court and Makadara.

Their cases will be heard in August this year.
