Former Sports Principal Secretary Peter Kaberia and eight other accused persons have been arraigned at the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court over an alleged Ksh330 million fraud tied to preparations for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The case centres on public funds allocated for a tender involving the supply and installation of equipment and services at stadiums earmarked for the continental football tournament.
Prosecutors have accused Kaberia and his co-accused of involvement in transactions through which approximately Ksh330.57 million in public money was allegedly irregularly handled.
The accused face several offences, including fraudulent acquisition of public property, abuse of office and fraudulent false accounting. Other counts relate to the alleged possession and use of proceeds of crime.
The prosecution has attributed different roles to the accused, with some alleged to have received or dealt with money linked to the disputed transactions.
Three companies; Leasepride Limited, Taxwise Consulting Limited and Liroma Assurance Services Limited, have also been named as accused persons in the criminal proceedings.
Kaberia, who is the first accused, was granted a Ksh3 million bond with an alternative cash bail of Ksh1 million.
The same terms were extended to Stephen Njoroge, Enock Onditi, John Kiende and Anthony Mwangi, who are listed as the second, fourth, fifth and 12th accused respectively.
Leasepride Limited, listed as the 13th accused, was similarly granted a KSh3 million bond or KSh1 million cash bail.
The court imposed different release terms on Samuel Mbaa Njoroge and the two other companies facing charges.
Njoroge, the 14th accused, together with Taxwise Consulting Limited and Liroma Assurance Services Limited, were each granted a Ksh2 million bond with an option of Ksh600,000 cash bail.
Taxwise Consulting Limited and Liroma Assurance Services Limited are listed as the 15th and 16th accused respectively.
The matter will return to the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court on November 3, 2026, for further mention.
