It is alleged that they forged the document on or before 7 day of march 2022 at an unknown place and time within the country, Orwe jointly in the country.
Orwe is also accused of making a certificate of origin No. 8796, purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by East African Community Customs COMESA, without lawful authority.
