Tareef Enterprises Directors Fail To Take Plea In Sh14M Fraud
The directors of a construction firm have obtained court orders stopping the Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga from preferring charges against them in a Sh 14 million business deal following an order issued by the High Court.
When the directors of Tareef Enterprises Ltd appeared before a Milimani magistrate for plea taking, their lawyer informed trial magistrate Benmark Ekhubi that the High court had stopped the case.
Ahmed Mohammed Karshe, Ali Sheikh Hassan and Abdulaziz Mohamed Karshe had already presented themselves in court to answer to the charges when their lawyer told the magistrate that the plea taking had been stopped.
The lawyer informed the court that the High court issued orders restraining the DPP and Inspector General of Police or their agents, from arresting and charging them.
Court documents stated that the firm’s directors were being sought by police officers from Kayole Police Station with the blessings of the DCIO, without reasonable cause.
“They cannot live peacefully at their own homes or at their business as they are fearing against imminent arrest without any justifiable cause,” court heard.
The court heard that their rights to security of person have been breached severally, and they were apprehensive of continued breach of their rights by the said police officers.
They further said the office have continuously threatened and intimidated them through the use of mobile phones whereby the incoming calls are all marked as “private number”.
On the 5th of February 2024, they said they were summoned by the DCIO Embakasi Police Station to record statements regarding their company, and where they had a business agreement to be supplied road construction materials by another company called Tradents Construction company works limited.
The DCIO found that the issue was purely a civil issue hence directed the parties to explore civil remedies in the matter.
This led to the directors of the said Tradents Construction company ltd agreeing with the four directors of Rafeef Enterprises ltd to pay Tradents Construction company ltd through instalments in an agreement dated the 5th of February 2024.
