BUNGOMA, Kenya

The KSh 11 million graft case involving former Nzoia Sugar Company Managing Director Godfrey Sifuna Wanyonyi and seven other top officials stalled on Wednesday at the Bungoma Anti-Corruption Court.

The case which was expected to proceed with testimony from the final two witnesses;the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detective Abraham Kemboi and former Nzoia MD Saul Wasilwa was adjourned to Oct. 22, 2025.

Senior Principal Magistrate Josephat Gichimu granted the adjournment after being informed that one of the accused, Benson Khwatenge Wafula was absent due to medical reasons.

The multi-million shilling graft case dates back to 2018 when Wanyonyi served as managing director of the state-owned sugar miller.

Prosecutors allege that the accused conspired to embezzle KSh 11 million from the company.

Wanyonyi is charged alongside Khwatenge Wafula (company secretary), John Wanyonyi Wekesa (chief cashier), Kenneth Onyango Omwago (cashier), Benson Sitati Wakhungu (internal auditor), Robert Vincent Juma (auditor), Kenneth Wafula Wanjala alias Mukombozi (administrator), and Juliet Ng’ang’a (clerk).

The eight have denied the charges. The case will resume in October for the conclusion of witness testimony.

Ends.
