Former finance director of Kenya Reinsurance Corporation has been sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of fraudulently acquiring a house in Karen, Nairobi.

Senior Principal Magistrate Felix Kombo found the former director, John Faustin Kinyua, and Mary Njeri Ng’ang’a Kimingi guilty of illegally acquiring the house that belonged to the corporation.

Ng'ang'a was however fined Kshs 6 million in default to serve 18 months.

Kinyua is currently serving a three-year jail term, handed to him more than a month ago after he was found guilty of tricking taxpayers into buying a house at Embakasi’s Villa Franca Estate.
