Two Strathmore University student yesterday were charged with conning unsuspecting people out of more than Sh8 million in a pyramid scheme. The court was told they committed the offence on February 23 last year at Fatima apartments on Marcus Garvey Road Kilimani, Nairobi. Kiprotich and Mwendwa also face seven other counts of obtaining Sh7.8 million from seven other Kenyans whom they convinced to invest in the firm. Their lawyer pleaded with the court to grant them reasonable bail terms because they are students. Kiprotich and Mwendwa further asked the court to consolidate the case with another one in which they are charged with the same offence.
