Starehe MP Steve Mbogo appeared in court yesterday over a gold scam in which a Dubai-based businessman was conned out of about Sh102 million.

This is just after we saw him buy his child a range rover after throwing a huge birthday party for her first birthday with very expensive decor.

The Starehe MP has always been associated with rumours of exactly how he gained his wealth and if he really does have the amount of wealth he claims to have.

Mbogo and two other suspects are accused of fraudulently obtaining $1 million from Sayeed Altaf a United Arab Emirates citizen.

Altaf had told police that he was duped by the suspects into parting with his cash after he was introduced by Ishmael to a business deal involving the sale of gold. According to a court application, the businessman filed a complaint on January 17.

Well, they say siku za mwizi ni arubaini but then again, one is innocent until proven guilty by the State and so we wait.
