ONE CHARGED WITH FORGERY IN LAND DISPUTE

Miriam Kubai, who has the power of attorney of the Leseru Tebeson Farmers Society, has been charged with the offence of forgery and making of false documents in connection with a protracted legal dispute over a parcel of land near Moi Barracks in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County.

Kubai stands accused of attempting to defraud the Ministry of Defence regarding the ownership of the land. It is alleged that she forged an amended certificate of confirmation of a grant, falsely representing it as an official document issued by the High Court of Kenya in Kakamega.

During her appearance at the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Eldoret, Kubai pleaded not guilty to the charges against her. Following her plea, she was granted a bond of Sh1.25 million.

The court has scheduled the mention of the case for May 12, 2025.
