Director Allegedly Forged Signature to Fraudulently Transfer Sh8 Million Company Vehicles to Himself
"The two vehicles were transferred to the accused person on June 12, 2025, pursuant to the minutes produced to the NTSA.
A Nairobi court has heard how a director of a company fraudulently acquired the registration of two motor vehicles by forging minutes and a signature of the co-director, allowing him to transfer the said company vehicles.
While testifying before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Teresia Nyangena, Inspector Vincent Chilongo, a DCI officer based at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Headquarters along Kiambu Road, told the court that one of the signatures on the documents was forged.
He told the court that he carried out a forensic examination on the documents provided by the complainant to determine the authenticity of the same.
The document on the issue was the minutes signed by the accused’s co-director, Boniface Gichane Maina, allowing Boris Owiye Agonga, the accused, to transfer the ownership of motor vehicles registration KDL 560Z, make Landrover Discovery valued Ksh 6.8 million, and KCZ 648X, make Nissan Sylphy, valued Ksh 1.2 million, property of Digitalent Systems Limited.
On the said purported minutes, Agonga was appointed as the company representative accessing the company’s E-citizen portal and NTSA authorising him to transfer the company vehicles under his name.
According to Chilongo, Maina denied ever conducting a meeting on the issue of the transfer of motor vehicles or signing on the same, leading him to report to the DCI for assistance.
The officer who specialises in document examination told the court that after examining the provided signature specimen on the document, he concluded that the signature was forged.
“When I examined the three signature specimens provided, I concluded that different authors made them,” he told the court.
Another witness, Corporal Charles Malowa, attached to the DCI Headquarters Serious Crime Unit, investigated the matter from NTSA and was provided with information linking Agonga with the offence.
He told the court that he was handed the sale agreement for the two motor vehicles, KDL 560Z, between Cars Guru Limited and Digitalent Systems Limited, dated August 15, 2024 and KCZ 648X was done on May 27, 2022, from Fortune Automobiles Limited to Digitalent Systems Limited.
“The two vehicles were transferred to the accused person on June 12, 2025, pursuant to the minutes produced to the NTSA.
Maina and Agonga are directors of Digitalent Systems Limited, having equal shares of 450 each, totalling 900.
Agonga is charged with the offence of stealing by directors, making and uttering forged documents and obtaining registration by false pretence.
The court will deliver the ruling on the matter, whether the accused has a case to answer or not, on March 18, 2026.
