Two Kakamega County farmers, Mary Nanjala and Roselyn Namukuru Nyongesa, are awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to charges of stealing money mistakenly sent to their mobile money accounts. They face a potential 14-year jail term or a KSh5 million fine.

• The total amount in question is Sh33,952, erroneously sent from a stockbroker's account at Co-operative Bank of Kenya.
• The farmers pleaded guilty to three counts, including acquisition of proceeds of crime and intentional withholding of an electronic payment.
• The court is awaiting confirmation from Co-operative Bank that the money has been repaid before delivering its verdict on September 9, 2026.
