Kiambu County Assembly Majority leader, Simon Komu is under investigation after his wife accused him of stealing more than Sh30 Million from their joint company, Fort Credit Limited.
The Member of County Assembly (MCA) was grilled by Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers at Central Police Station on Tuesday, for also allegedly attempting to take their jointly owned company from his wife Joyce Wanjiku.
Ms Wanjiku filed a case with the police claiming that the husband forged her signature and swore a fake affidavit to transfer shares worth Sh30 Million to his sister.
The fraudulent transaction was confirmed by the Registrar of Companies, stating that Mr Komu illegally transferred shares to his sister Margaret Komu.
“Due to the above anomaly, the CR12 dated November 12, 2015 reflecting the directors and shareholders as Simon Kimani Komu and Margaret Nduta Komu is suspended,” the letter from the Registrar was quoted in the report.
The MCA however, told DCI officers that he did not know how the signatures got appended on the documents.
“The probe is ongoing and once we are through we will take necessary action on those involved,” the Head of CID Bakari said.
