An old woman of 95 years was charged with stealing Sh900,000 in accrued rent from a private company on Thursday.
Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko had offered to pay Esther Wachira’s bail but she was released on a Sh100,000 bond.
Wachira allegedly stole the money, for a plot in Shauri Moyo estate, Nairobi, between January 2000 and December 2014.
The plot belongs to Peter Macharia, Francis Kabue and Fredrick Mwangi of Masterways Property.
The woman, who required a Kikuyu translator, denied the charges at Milimani law courts before chief magistrate Daniel Ogembo.
She is one of the directors of Kiona company which claims ownership of several properties in Nairobi.
The case will be heard on July 30.
