A lawmaker was charged on Tuesday with fraud at a Milimani court.
Kitui Rural MP Charles Mutisya Nyamai, who had a pending warrant of arrest, presented himself before a magistrate and denied a charge of obtaining 706 building poles worth Sh7 million from a businessman by false pretences.
Mr Nyamai was charged with obtaining the goods from businessman Elijah Kimani of Gamu Wood Work.
He is alleged to have issued a bad cheque for the payment of the goods.
According to the prosecution, the accused is alleged to have committed the offence on diverse dates between May 28, 2014 and June 3, 2014 in Nairobi County.
The lawmaker was released on a bond of Sh500,000 with a surety of a similar amount.
The MP’s lawyer, Nicholas Kamwendwa, told the court that his client was negotiating for an out-of-court settlement with the complainant.
The magistrate directed the case be mentioned in two weeks.
