FOUR NABBED IN SH3.2M LPO SCAM IN THIKA
A team of detectives from the Operations Actions Team (OAT) has apprehended four individuals for forging Local Purchase Orders (LPOs) to acquire goods valued at Sh3,249,500 in Thika town.
The suspects, operating under the guise of legitimacy, used counterfeit LPOs featuring the letterhead of Chandaria Ltd to orchestrate their scam, making off with deliveries of Bidco products on two separate occasions.
The arrest follows weeks of discreet surveillance, culminating in a swift operation when detectives received intelligence about their next move.
Responding swiftly, detectives caught the suspects red-handed, led by Haron Mwangi Ndungu, who was at the wheel of their getaway vehicle, an Isuzu lorry registration number KDB 249Z, white in colour. On board were his accomplices, James Nyaga Munyutha, Philip Njenga, and Paul Ngugi, en route to Bidco once again, armed with another forged LPO, aiming to secure goods worth Sh1,770,740.
All four fraudsters were promptly arrested and are currently in custody, undergoing processing pending arraignment. Meanwhile, the impounded lorry has been detained as exhibit.
Wamunyoro-based ethnochauvinists are having a field day!
In their warped thinking, Raila Odinga is coming back home to team up with their tribal bigot called Rigathi Gachagua.
"Our National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has saved Ksh 320 billion over 60 years, primarily because we have been saving an average of Ksh 200 per person. We now have a new arrangement where every employee saves 6% of their salary, with employers contributing an additional 6%. This means that the Ksh 320 billion we saved in 60 years, we are going to double that money in four and a half years."
William Ruto, President
If you cannot CONVINCE them, CONFUSE them. This is what Uhuru Kenyatta did by SLAUGHTERING a goat for Ruto in Ishaweri, Gatundu. The COMPOUND that Moses Kuria and Riggy G threatened to URINATE on in 2022. FACT. And so I ask: WHAT is WRONG with Uhuru RECONCILING with Ruto?

We must take a moment to truly appreciate the strides our President has made so far. Tribalism serves no one and only hinders our progress as a nation.
Constructive dialogue, not self-destructive criticism, is what will guide us forward.
Rapprochement between President William Ruto and former President Uhuru Kenyatta works well for national unity, stability and enables the country to collectively focus on addressing national development priorities.
