A Nairobi court yesterday issued a warrant of arrest against two former senior managers of Chase Bank for failing to appear in court to plead to the charges of conspiring to defraud the bank Sh1.6 billion. Milimani senior principal magistrate Martha Mutuku issued the arrest order of Abdul Ahmed and Ghanrish Omar after they failed to comply with earlier summons requiring them to attend in court yesterday. At the same time, two other managers, Amiran Claudia and Mohammed Khan through their lawyer Cecil Miller, made an application opposing taking of plea in the same case, saying charges against them are defective.
Director of Public Prosecutions, through senior state counsel James Warui, asked the court for more time to respond to the defence application. The magistrate, however, ordered the application to be heard on September 7 before making any further direction.
