Thursday, June 13, 2024 - An officer who was investigating a Ksh. 210,000 fraud matter involving media personality Betty Kyalo and her boyfriend Charles Bruce Johns, an American citizen was shocked when he was transferred after he became a marked man after a file involving RTGS fraud landed on his desk from a complainant.
The case started getting interference after Betty Kyalo “befriended” some
senior DCI officers who have now influenced the transfer of the officer who was
handling the case. The investigation was also stopped.
According to the complaint, going by the name James, a Kenyan resident working
for a travel agency, requested an investigation into an alleged fraud involving
media personality Betty Kyalo and her boyfriend.
On March 15, 2023, Kyalo and Johns approached Ndirangu's travel agency, seeking
hotel and accommodation services in Diani Beach.
After agreeing to the terms and conditions, they checked
into the hotel but failed to pay for the services after spending the night.
Ndirangu's agent in Diani informed him that the clients were too intoxicated to
complete the transaction.
Despite repeated requests for payment, Kyalo and Johns did not settle their
bill.
On March 18, 2024, they informed Ndirangu that they had
made an RTGS transaction, which he later discovered was fake and nonexistent
within the system.
This fraudulent act prompted Ndirangu to report the
incident to the authorities, seeking guidance and assistance after all attempts
to resolve the issue failed.
The travel agency is yet to get back their money and the officer is also
shocked with the transfer and halting of the investigation into the matter.
