They are charged with getting money by false pretences and are facing a total of 13 counts among them 13 bouncing cheques of Sh990,000 on March 28.



The court heard that the two drew the cheques for SBM bank in favour of Ezetel Kenya limited when they had previously instructed the bank not to honour the said cheques, with intent to defraud.
