Jackson Karungo Kahora
The prime suspect, Jackson Karungo Kahora in a 52kg gold scam deal in which an American national was defrauded of $434,100 a year ago has been arraigned following his arrest at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport last Friday, February 23, 2024.
He was on the run to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. His arrest and subsequent arraignment followed a stop order placed against him by the Operations Support Unit detectives, who have been pursuing the case in which two of his accomplices were arrested earlier and charged.
The suspect was charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, obtaining money by false pretences, and two counts of uttering a false document.
He pleaded not guilty to all counts and was granted ksh.600,000 bond or a cash bail of Sh300,000.
