The court heard that the accused, jointly with others not before the court, had committed a felony.
“That on diverse dates between June 13 and 31, 2013, with others not before court, he conspired to commit a felony by forging a memorandum of understanding,” the charge sheet read in part.
Ngugi was further accused of forging crucial documents in an attempt to link a company identified as Kamuta Company with the government.
“He forged articles of association for Kamuta Company within the Republic of Kenya,” the court heard.
The prosecution added that the accused faced a second count of making false documents, namely the memorandum of understanding and articles of association, jointly with others, not before the court.
In a third count, the court heard that on December 31, 2013, at the Registrar of Companies’ offices in Nairobi, Ngugi knowingly and fraudulently altered the said documents.
“Namely, the memorandum of understanding and articles for Kamuta Limited submitted to the Registrar of Companies,” the charge sheet read.
