The court heard that Obare committed the offence on diverse dates between 1 January 2022 and 31st January 2024 in Nairobi, with intent to defraud.
He however denied the charges before Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina and through His lawyer had made an application to have the plea taking deferred grounds that the accused is unwell having suffered injuries at the time of arrest.
The court also heard that here is a miscellaneous application at Kibera Law Courts where the accused was detained for 10 days to allow police to complete investigations.
However, the accused filed an application at the High Court in Kibera where the court admitted him to bail terms that have not been adhered to police.
This is because the police rearrested him upon being released and produced him at Milimani Law Courts for plea taking.
However, the same was opposed by the prosecution who also applied to have the accused person denied bail on grounds that he is at flight risk.
The court heard that Obare is a frequent traveller outside the country and hold a government of Seychelles employee card.
The magistrate will deliver the ruling on bail on 31st October 2024.
