Fraud-Linked Lawyer Stephen Juma Ndeda Now ‘Unstoppable’ as New Cases Surge

City lawyer Stephen Juma Ndeda is once again at the centre of multiple fraud allegations, including a case in which he is accused alongside others of defrauding an investor of USD 190,000.

The advocate, who critics say has perfected the art of high-stakes deception, has also been linked to a separate Sh500 million dispute in which an American investor claims he was swindled.

A Milimani court on Monday issued a search warrant against him. Sources familiar with his conduct claim that Ndeda rarely appears in court to represent clients and instead thrives on deals, brokering arrangements and activities they describe as questionable.

“Ndeda has perfected his craft. As an advocate of the High Court, I have never seen him personally appear in court for a client. He focuses on corporate work and quick deals that require his signature to rake in millions. He does not seem concerned about safeguarding his name,” a lawyer told The Star.

In previous years, Ndeda was charged with malicious damage at the Makadara Law Courts. He was also accused of threatening to kill a security guard. The matters were later closed, but more details on the fresh complaint are expected.

He is currently before the Kahawa Law Courts, where he faces a Sh352 million money-laundering charge.

These cases, observers say, represent only a fraction of the complaints piling up against the self-styled advocate, with more alleged victims stepping forward claiming they were left seeking justice after losing money.
