Summary
On 24 October 2025 the Court of Appeal dismissed Mukuria Ngamau's second appeal in the Youth Enterprise Development Fund consultancy case, which concerned payments to Quorandum Limited for purported ICT consultancy supported by false documents. Convictions for fraudulent acquisition of public property and making false documents remain. The High Court had earlier set aside the conspiracy conviction and its sentence. The trial court's compensation order recited in the judgment is KSh189,364,789; that figure is a court order, not proof of recovery. Co-accused who died before judgment are not found guilty by this record.

Criminal conviction · No further appeal locatedAppeal judgment · Decided
Outcome and procedural limits
The Court of Appeal dismissed the second appeal in its entirety. The convictions on counts 2, 3, 10 and 11 stand; the conspiracy count had already ended in acquittal in the High Court in 2023. The judgment recites the trial sentences, including a compensation order of KSh189,364,789. Payment, recovery and time in custody are not verified.
Appeal status
This is the second-appeal judgment. A targeted search on 24 October 2026 found no Supreme Court step; this is not a certified docket search. The narrative figure of KSh180,364,789 used in some accounts is not the court-recited compensation order and is not used here.
