Former Epra MD Kiptoo challenges forgery charges in family business

Former Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Director General Daniel Kiptoo has moved to court to challenge plans to charge him with forgery over the shareholding of a family-owned company.

In a case set for hearing on Friday before the High Court in Kiambu, Mr Kiptoo argues that the intended prosecution is not aimed at addressing a criminal justice concern but is an attempt to use criminal proceedings to achieve what his half-brother, Dr Victor Kipkemei Bargoria, allegedly failed to obtain through administrative and civil proceedings.
