Controversial businesswoman Joyce Akinyi was
on Monday charged afresh at the Kibera law
courts with trafficking narcotic drugs.
The prosecution amended a charge sheet in a
case she pleaded not guilty last year to include a
count of possession of narcotic drugs.
She was charged that on March 25 last year at
Dam Two estate in Langata Nairobi, jointly with
John Alex, Rush Auma and Kelvin Odour, they
were found in possession of heroin valued at
Sh4.2 million.
In another count, she is accused together with
John Alex of trafficking heroin at her Deep West
Resort in Langata, Nairobi on March 25 last year.
According to the charge sheet, the alleged
narcotic drug had a value of Sh94,000.
Court documents indicate that she was found
with a substance that preliminary tests
established was heroin.
In a separate count on the same charge sheet,
John Alex Otieno, Risper Auma and Kelvin Oduor
were charged with trafficking 1833.6 grams of
cocaine valued at Sh4.6 million.
The three were allegedly found at a house in
Dam estate, Langata, with sachets containing the
proscribed drug on March 25 moments after Ms
Akinyi was arrested at Deep West Resort.
Ms Akinyi is out on Sh500,000 bond. The case is
set to proceed before Kibera principal magistrate
Benard Ochoi Monday.
