Understanding Business Fraud & Legal Frameworks in Kenya
Business fraud encompasses a wide spectrum of deceitful acts intended to gain financial or other advantages. In Kenya, this includes offences under the Penal Code (Cap. 63), such as obtaining by false pretences, cheating, and forgery. For corporate entities, the Companies Act, 2015, provides mechanisms for addressing fraudulent conduct by directors or third parties, while the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003, targets more severe economic crimes. Resolving these disputes often involves navigating civil litigation, arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 1995, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation facilitated by accredited mediators. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates possesses deep knowledge of these statutes and their practical application in Westlands and greater Nairobi.
