Mweni thinks that by cooperating with investigators he will benefit,he is pleading guilty.He should know why John Thagana and Moses Muregi a nephew to a politician cannot be arrested or investigated.

Oil companies?

Quote:
In an affidavit filed at the High Court, the banking sector regulator has applied to be enjoined in a case in which a blacklisted bonds trader, Fred Mweni, has claimed that CBK staff connived with stockbrokers and investment bankers to steal the government securities.



Quote:
CMA claims that Mr Mweni handled three fake treasury bonds worth Sh18.5 million, Sh9.5 million and Sh11.5 million. But Mr Mweni, in his latest affidavit, says the scam is more elaborate and involved more firms, adding that CMA discriminated against him when it suspended him and left out other brokers and investors involved in the scam.


Quote:
Responding to the allegations, CMA said that it was investigating more firms regarding the scandal without giving further details on the value and extent of the investigations.


Quote:
CBK contends that Mr Mweni’s allegation that several investors were affected by the bank’s own “infidelity and impropriety are ‘grievous allegations’.”


This one is not 'going away' soon.

Needs to be resolved soon..

Otherwise . . . *tereng *tereng

......“The sum total in respect to which the Central Bank lays claim as to questioned bonds created by itself or internally by its staff unprocedurally and sold to the market is about Sh2.6 billion,” says Mr Mweni.....


Picture a hypothetical scenario reminiscent of the Kethi vs IEBC registration.

Mweni accused of dealing with the Bonds which did or did not originate from the CBK [ see bold statement ].

Hope this clears the 'picture' for you.

I dont think many judges and prosecutors understand much about numbers. I can confirm that when a prosecutor (wakili wa serikali) receives an investigation file containing financial statement, they just flip through it and trust that the investigator knew that he is talking about! I am speaking from experience. First if all, the kind of accounts taught at law school for lawyers is only basic, how to maintain accounts in the office. Most lawyers employ clerks to keep their office accounts and the nearest they come to practice the accounting they learnt in law school is when they sign checks for money to be withdrawn by their secretaries. For these kind of prosecutions to succeed we need specialization by the bench as well as the prosecutors. A basic qualification as fraud examiners should be the basic requirement for those among them who want to specialize in finance related cases. In the alternative, an astute prosecutor should get some expert testimony from the Wazuan's who know about the financial markets and who can help the court to understand it better. Otherwise this may end up like the Uchumi case where it was declared that there is no law against insider trading!

‘Billions lost’ in Central Bank of Kenya stock theft

CMA has disqualified Mweni, Muregi, Weru and Wambugu from being directors of any listed company or working for “a licensed or approved person” for a period of 15 years. This covers stockbrokers, dealers, investment banks, investment advisers, venture capital firms, credit rating agencies, collective investments and the like. Masha got a ten-year ban while Muchiri is locked out for seven years. Profits from some of the bond deals that got them in trouble will be surrendered and paid to the CMA Investor Compensation Fund account.

This is an old story.....bonds and confirmed were 2.8B. Mweni swore an affidavit to this effect but latter withdrew it....wonder why? This matter will die a natural death. There is no way people will be allowed to peer into the details of how this bonds were created....ICT and digital times I tell you!
