The KSh61.8 million alleged fraud case involving Nairobi lawyer Conrad Maloba has taken a fresh turn after a witness presented invoices linked to the advocate during court proceedings.
The case revolves around allegations that a foreign businessman was defrauded of approximately USD 470,750 (KSh61.8 million) through a purported government tender for the supply of 500 Toyota Hiace ambulances to Kenya.
The latest testimony has brought renewed attention to financial transactions and documents allegedly connected to the controversial deal, with invoices emerging as part of the evidence presented before the court.
The complainant, Talal Yousef Zaitoun, previously told the court that he was convinced he could secure the lucrative government contract after being presented with documents suggesting that the procurement process had received official approval.
According to earlier court testimony, Zaitoun made several payments after being introduced to individuals who allegedly claimed they could facilitate the tender.
Some of the money was reportedly transferred to accounts associated with Conrad Law Advocates LLP, the law firm linked to Maloba.
The businessman told the court that the arrangement initially appeared legitimate because of the documents and meetings he attended in Nairobi.
However, his suspicions reportedly grew after questions emerged about the authenticity of documents bearing the purported signatures of government officials.
The alleged scheme attracted the attention of investigators, leading to the arrest of seven suspects at Harambee House in March 2026.
The suspects face various charges relating to conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money by false pretences and other alleged offences connected to the disputed ambulance tender.
The proceedings are expected to shed more light on the financial transactions, the roles of individuals mentioned in the case and how the businessman allegedly lost millions of shillings.
The presentation of invoices marks another significant development in the ongoing legal battle as the court continues examining evidence surrounding the disputed KSh61.8 million transaction.
All allegations remain subject to determination by the court, and those accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
