Charles Kamolo Musinga and Solomon Mwema, directors of Makindu Motors Limited, were arrested. 

Deputy President office under another scandal involving 2,800 laptops valued at Sh 180 Million. After the businessmen failed to comply with LPO agreements, the laptop providers were forced to conduct an investigation which revealed they were fake LPOs.

Charles Kamolo Musinga and Solomon Mwema, directors of Makindu Motors Limited, were arrested on Thursday and locked up at Parliament Police Station.


They are accused of forging a Local Purchase Order (LPO) with intent to defraud a trader.

They purported that the document was genuine and was signed and issued by a procurement officer at the DP's office identified only as Mr Mulinge.


The two allegedly committed the offences between May 30 and August 12, 2018, in Nairobi with others being tried at the Milimani chief magistrate's court.


Mr Musinga and Mr Mwema faced three counts of conspiracy to defraud, making a false document and obtaining goods by false pretences.
They denied the charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot and were each released on Sh500,000 cash bail or Sh2 million bond with sureties of the same amount.


Two businessmen were charged on Friday with offering fake tender documents for supply of 2,800 laptops valued at Sh180 million, under Deputy President William Ruto's name.
