Juja MP George Koimburi is set to appear in court following fresh accusations of defrauding a buyer in a controversial Ksh 10 million land transaction, adding to his growing list of legal troubles.
Highlights:
- Koimburi accused of defrauding Ksh 10M in land sale
- MP summoned to court to face allegations
- Comes months after facing charges over forged academic papers
- Incident renews public focus on land fraud involving political figures
Main Story:
George Koimburi, the Member of Parliament for Juja, has been summoned by the courts to respond to allegations that he defrauded an individual of Ksh 10 million in a dubious land deal. The summons follow claims that Koimburi sold land under questionable terms, prompting legal intervention.
The buyer reportedly paid the hefty amount in what was believed to be a legitimate land transaction—only to later discover discrepancies regarding the property’s ownership and validity.
This isn’t the first time the legislator has faced legal scrutiny. Earlier this year, Koimburi was charged with forging academic certificates purportedly from JKUAT and KNEC, offenses that date back decades. He pleaded not guilty and was released on a cash bail of Ksh 200,000.
In a dramatic twist during that legal battle, Koimburi reportedly fled on a motorbike to evade re-arrest outside the Kiambu Law Courts, a moment that sparked both media frenzy and public backlash.
The latest case adds to a growing pattern of land fraud allegations involving public figures in Kenya. With real estate among the country’s most contested and corrupt-prone sectors, citizens continue to call for stricter regulations and accountability, especially when elected leaders are implicated.
Koimburi’s appearance in court is expected to shed more light on the transaction and determine whether criminal charges will follow.
When lawmakers face the law, the public is left to ask—who really owns accountability in Kenya’s political arena?
