Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o has denied fraud charges against her in a Mombasa court.
Nyakang’o was on Tuesday charged in a Mombasa court with defrauding a woman Sh29 million.
Nyakang’o denied the charges and was released on Sh500,000 cash bail.
She was charged alongside 10 other suspects in connection with a case filed against them in 2016.
They are accused of conspiracy to defraud, operating a Sacco without a licence, forgery and uttering a false document.
The charges were approved by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in a letter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on November 30.
The other ten co-accused were summoned to appear in court. The case will come up for mention on 13 December.
