Four fraud accused who appeared in court on Wednesday in Kenya were released on a 500 000 shillings bond (R70 000) and are standing accused of trying to defraud MultiChoice Kenya through a false structural integrity building report.

Kenya's KBC channel reported on Thursday that Eugene Kariuki Muchemi, Wilson Munyu, Stanley Kibathi and Lavender Lucky have been released on bail after being accused on four counts of fraud in the East African country.

All four are denying the counts of fraud against them and denied creating a false document. 

The four allegedly conspired to defraud MultiChoice Kenya by deliberately altering a structural integrity report on the proposed construction of an office block for MultiChoice Kenya to favour their company and to demand damages.

The case will be heard again on 19 January 2022.
