Funyula MP Aspirant Boris Owiye Agonga Charged in High-End Car Theft Case

Nairobi, February 21, 2026 – Boris Owiye Agonga, a director at Digitalent Systems Limited and an aspiring United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate for the Funyula parliamentary seat in the 2027 elections, has been charged with stealing a high-end Land Rover Discovery belonging to the company he co-owns.

Agonga appeared before Milimani Magistrate Teresa Nyangena, where he denied the allegations. The charge sheet accuses him of fraudulently transferring ownership of the vehicle, registration number KDL 560Z, valued at Sh6,820,000, on June 12, 2025, in Nairobi.

The prosecution stated that the Land Rover Discovery came into Agonga’s possession by virtue of his directorship at Digitalent Systems Limited, a startup firm involved in digital solutions.

According to court documents and police investigations, Agonga allegedly used forged documents to transfer ownership of not only the Land Rover but also a Nissan Sylphy (valued at approximately Sh1.2 million in related reports) into his personal name. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Serious Crime Unit recovered the Land Rover Discovery, which is now held as an exhibit.

Agonga was arrested by DCI detectives on February 13, 2026, following weeks of investigations into the fraudulent transfers.

The court granted him lenient bail of Sh20,000 cash, which he paid before being released. The case is set for further mention on March 3, 2026.

Agonga, who has been positioning himself as a contender for the Funyula MP seat under the UDA ticket ahead of the 2027 general election, faces potential political fallout from the charges. Sources close to his campaign have described the matter as stemming from an internal company dispute with a co-director.

The DCI has urged members of the public to report similar fraud cases anonymously via toll-free line 0800 722 203 or WhatsApp at 0709 570 000.

This development comes amid heightened scrutiny of aspirants in the run-up to the 2027 polls, where integrity and clean records are increasingly under the spotlight.
