Chinese businessman wanted in Rwanda for tax evasion and forgery
The state has made an application before a Kiambu court for cancellation of bond granted to a Chinese contractor who is wanted in Rwanda for tax evasion and forgery.
It is alleged that Chen Chao who was arrested last week at the JKIA airport while leaving the country is wanted in Rwanda to face charges including Forgery, falsification and use of forged documents which carried a 7 years imprisonment and a second charge of Tax evasion which carried 5 years if found guilty.
In an application to court, the DPP has asked court to cancel bond granted to Chao on November 23 and revised on November 30 and issue custodial orders detaining him pending the institution of the intended extradition proceedings against him.
“The charges in Rwanda include the receipt of the formal copy of the request for extradition of the respondent to Rwanda and the risk of leaving the jurisdiction of the court amounts to a change of circumstances warranting the cancellation of the bail and bond terms or for the requirement of depositing his passport pending extradition,” the application reads.
The DPP has faulted the court for releasing his passport to him saying that allowing him to leave the jurisdiction of the court is incompatible with the Kenya’s and this court’s obligation to comply with the international obligations as far as extradition of fugitive criminal is concerned.
Officer Nelson Ndune who works at the Wanted and Fugitive desk says that they received a information from Rwanda in January this year for the arrest and transfer of Chao to Rwanda.
According to court papers, Chao is the director of Power China International which entered into a contractual agreement with King Faisal Hospital for construction of outpatient department.
However, instead of fulfilling the work agreement, Chao then entered into a separate argument with another entity Power China Ghuizhou Engineering Ltd to execute construction work.
China Ghuizhou also failed to perform its contractual duties and instead entered into a subsequent agreement with ENTEC Technology Ltd.
Chao left Rwanda prior to the completion of construction works leading to the institution of charges against him.
