Businessman and Joncil Enterprises Director Jonathan Ngenga Ndisya has requested the Milimani Court defer the hearing of a fraud case that had been scheduled for 20th February.
Ngenga, alongside co-accused Peter Kamau, is facing charges of conspiracy to defraud contrary to Section 317 of the Penal Code, obtaining money by false pretences, and other related offences.
The two appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina on Friday, February 20, 2026, for the hearing of the case, where Ngenga sought a postponement.
Addressing the court, Ngenga informed the magistrate that his advocate, Joe Mwangi, was unable to attend court after travelling upcountry to handle an emergency.
“Your Honour, my advocate has not been able to attend today’s court after he got an emergency from upcountry and had to rush home to attend to it. It is my prayer that the hearing be postponed to another date,” Ngenga told the court.
Chief Magistrate Onyina granted the request and adjourned the matter to early March.
“The request is granted. The matter will be mentioned on March 2, 2026, virtually,” ruled the magistrate.
According to the charge sheet, between July 1, 2018, and March 31, 2020, Kamau, who was employed as an accountant at Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited and also served as a director of Joncil Enterprises, jointly conspired with intent to defraud Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited of Sh106,822,690.
The prosecution alleges that the accused falsely pretended that Joncil Enterprises had deposited the said amount into the company’s bank account as payment for goods supplied.
Ngenga is also charged with obtaining money by false pretences by allegedly claiming he had deposited the same amount into Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited’s bank account between July 1, 2018, and March 12, 2020.
Meanwhile, Kamau faces additional charges of stealing after allegedly fraudulently transferring Sh4,777,094 to his personal account between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, while employed at Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited.
The prosecution further alleges that during the same period, Kamau, while employed as an accountant at Desire Flora (K) Limited, stole Sh3,500,000 belonging to the company by fraudulently transferring the funds to his personal account.
In another count, Kamau is charged with fraudulent false accounting for allegedly indicating that Joncil Enterprises had paid Sh106,822,690 to Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited.
