A man accused of defrauding a job seeker of Sh1.5 million by promising fake police job letters has been charged in Milimani court. Dennis Mugambi Kamwara appeared on Friday, January 16, 2026, and pleaded not guilty.
Dennis Mugambi Kamwara, a Kenyan man, was charged with defrauding Gichunuku Elius Mutuma of Sh1,540,000 between November 25 and December 2, 2025. According to Director of Public Prosecutions Doreen Njoroge, Kamwara claimed he could secure police positions for four of Mutuma's relatives but received the money just eight days after 10,000 recruits were selected for Kiganjo training college on November 17, 2025.
Njoroge told the court that Kamwara misled Mutuma by asserting his ability to place the four in the police force. During the hearing, Kamwara denied the charges and applied for bail. Though Njoroge did not object, she reminded the court of Kamwara's prior arrest in July 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, alongside two others, for allegedly selling counterfeit Omega-3 supplements in the Zimmerman area.
Resident Magistrate Caroline Mugo granted bail of Sh1 million cash plus a surety of the same amount, noting no evidence that Kamwara would flee or interfere with witnesses. The court ordered prosecutors to provide Kamwara with copies of the evidence to prepare his defense. This case highlights ongoing fraud risks in Kenya's police recruitment process.
