An official attached to the Government Printer was among three individuals charged at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi in connection with a forgery ring involving fake land documents.

The three accused are alleged to have been part of a syndicate involved in the manufacturing and possession of forged government documents, including fake title deeds and stamp impressions.

According to a statement from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the suspects purported that the documents originated from senior land registry officials in a bid to defraud unsuspecting Kenyans.

The prosecution further revealed that one of the suspects, nabbed at a residence along Desai Road in Nairobi's Starehe sub-county, was in possession of complex instruments used to forge stamp impressions.
