Kenya: Bruno Oguda Obodha, who had previously been appointed by the Kenyan President William Ruto to be managing director of East Africa Portland Cement Company (EAPCC), has been charged with fraud. He is accused of forging documents with the intent to commit fraud on various dates in 2024. Obodha never served at EAPCC, as its board rejected his appointment in December 2024, citing its suspicions of fraud.
The charges include deliberately confusing membership of the Blue Make International Security Company with that of the Protective Security Industry Association, altering a document relating to EAPCC with the intent to defraud, and making a document without authority.
Obodha will be trialled in court on 29 April 2025.
