Boris Owiye Agonga has been acquitted of all charges in a case that had attracted significant attention both in court and within Funyula’s political circles, bringing to an end months of legal battles that his supporters say had been used to damage his public image.
The court’s decision now clears Agonga of allegations that had linked him to claims of forgery and irregular transfer of company vehicles, a case that had become a major talking point among political rivals and supporters alike.
The acquittal is being viewed by many of his allies as not only a legal victory but also a significant political turning point ahead of the coming political season in Funyula Constituency.
Supporters gathered outside court welcomed the decision with celebrations, maintaining that the case had unfairly cast doubt on Agonga’s integrity despite him consistently denying wrongdoing from the beginning.
The matter had stemmed from allegations involving Digitalent Systems Limited, where Agonga and the complainant were both directors and shareholders in the company.
Earlier court proceedings had heard claims that documents allegedly used to facilitate the transfer of two company vehicles into Agonga’s name contained forged signatures and irregular board resolutions.
The disputed vehicles included a Land Rover Discovery valued at approximately Ksh6.8 million and a Nissan Sylphy valued at about Ksh1.2 million.
During the trial, forensic experts from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) testified regarding signatures appearing on company documents presented to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
Investigators had alleged that the documents enabled the transfer of the vehicles through the company’s eCitizen and NTSA systems.
Agonga had faced several charges including making and uttering alleged forged documents, stealing by director and obtaining registration through false pretences.
However, after hearing the matter, the court ultimately found him not guilty of the charges that had been leveled against him.
The ruling now significantly changes the political conversation around Agonga, especially in Funyula where the case had increasingly been drawn into local political rivalries.
Some of his supporters accused opponents of using the case as a political weapon aimed at weakening his growing influence and popularity among sections of the electorate.
Now cleared by the court, Agonga is expected to resume political activities more aggressively as he reconnects with supporters and pushes forward with his agenda for Funyula.
For many of his backers, the acquittal has not only restored his public image but also handed him renewed momentum heading into the next political phase.
