Businessman Bruno Oguda Obodha, who had previously been appointed by President William Ruto to be managing director of East Africa Portland Cement Company (EAPCC), has now been charged with fraud.
Obodha was on Monday arraigned in Mavoko Law Courts, Machakos County, before Senior Principal Magistrate Derick Kuto to take a plea on six charges.
He was accused of forging documents with the intent to commit fraud on diverse dates in 2024.
Obodha, whose appointment was contested by the EAPCC board of directors and he was unable to take up the post, spent the weekend at Athi River Police Station cells after he was arrested for failing to appear in court on February 14, 2024, to take a plea in the case.
