Businessman Jonathan Ngenga requests court defer his Ksh106M fraud case hearing
By Zipporah Ngwatu, February 20, 2026Businessman and Joncil Enterprises Director Jonathan Ngenga Ndisya has requested the Milimani Court defer his fraud case hearing that was scheduled for today.
Ngenga and Peter Kamau have been charged with conspiracy to defraud contrary to Section 317 of the Penal Code, obtaining money by false pretences, and other charges.
Appearing before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina on Friday, February 20, 2026, for a hearing of the case, the businessman informed the court that they would like to have the hearing postponed.
Ngenga told the court that his lawyer, Joseph Mwanthi, had an emergency and travelled upcountry to handle it, thus making it hard for him to attend court for the hearing.
“Your Honour, my advocate has not been able to attend today’s court after he got an emergency from his upcountry and had to rush home to attend to it. It’s my prayer we postpone the hearing to another date,” Ngenga urged the court.
Magistrate Onyina granted him his request and adjourned the hearing to early next month.
“The request is granted, the matter will be mentioned on March 2, 2026, virtually,” Magistrate Onyina ruled.
According to the charge sheet, between July 1, 2018, and March 31, 2020, Kamau, being a person employed as an accountant at Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited and Director of Joncil Enterprises, respectively, jointly conspired with intent to defraud Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited of Ksh106,822,690 by falsely pretending that Joncil Enterprises had deposited the said amount to their bank account for the goods supplied to Joncil Enterprises.
Ngenga is also charged with obtaining by false pretences by falsely pretending that he had deposited the said amount into the Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited company bank account between July 1, 2018, and March 12, 2020.
Meanwhile, Kamau has also been charged with stealing by fraudulently transferring Ksh4,777,094 to his personal account, money which came into his possession by virtue of his employment between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, at the Agro Irrigation and Pump Services Limited offices.
The prosecution states that during the same time, Kamau, a person employed as an accountant at Desire Flora (K) Limited, stole Ksh3,500,000, the property of Desire Flora (K), by fraudulently transferring the money to your personal account, money which came into your possession by virtue of your employment.
