A Nairobi agent is at the centre of a legal battle following accusations that he embezzled more than Ksh7.9 million from his employer, Mkondo wa Afrika Ltd.
Allan Kirawa Ogola was brought before the Milimani Law Courts on Thursday, accused of embezzling Ksh7,986,742.25 in the course of one year – March 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024 – during the time he served as the company’s agent.
The funds were meant for remittance to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) as housing levy and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax on behalf of the firm. Instead, Ogola allegedly failed to submit the funds, breaching his fiduciary duty.
“Allan Kirawa Ogola, on diverse dates between March 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, in Nairobi County, being an agent of Mkondo wa Afrika Ltd, stole a total sum of Ksh7,986,742.25, which had been entrusted to you for remittance to the Kenya Revenue Authority,” the charge sheet read.
Ogola denied the charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Ondieki. The court released him on a Ksh1 million bond with two sureties or a cash bail alternative of Ksh200,000.
He was first arrested on June 14, 2025, and initially released on a Ksh50,000 cash bail pending investigations.
The complaint was lodged by Ahmed Sidgi Kaballo on behalf of Mkondo wa Afrika Ltd.
The matter will be heard on July 24, with full hearing resuming on August 18, 2025.
