A catholic priest appeared before Milimani law Courts on Friday and reveled how the estranged husband to current Nyeri Women rep Rahab Mukami conned the church shs 3.9 million.
Appearing before Magistrate Bernard Ochoi, Fr John Peter Gitonga explained how James Maingi Kimani defrauded the church.
Maingi is the former husband to Nyeri Women rep Rahab Mukami.
He has been accused of defrauding the church of Sh 3.9 M by pretending that he was in a position to sell and fabricate an Isuzu NQR 33-seater Bus.
He is said to have received the money from Reverend Fr John Peter Gitonga.
He was to purchase the vehicle on behalf of the Catholic Diocese of Meru, St Johns Boarding Primary School, and Maua.
When Revered Gitonga appeared before Magistrate Ochoi, he told the court how he met the accused James Maingi Kimani.
He alleged that the Catholic Diocese of Meru engaged the accused to purchase and fabricate a school bus for their school St Johns Mixed Primary school.
But upon paying the accused Sh 3.9 million, through his company Dodi Auto Tech which Maingi co-owned with Mukami who was then his wife, Maingi never delivered the 33 seater Bus model NQR 66R Isuzu.
The case was adjourned until 15/6/22 when the prosecution will present the other witnesses.
