Eric Munene Mate
Wiselinks foundation
Despite running a non-governmental organisation, Eric Munene Mate has been battling a multi-million-dollar fraud case that risks crumbling his entire empire if the current court papers and court stories are anything to go by.
A quick check on his social media posts shows a man who has dedicated his life to improving life and empowering the less vulnerable in the community.
“Wiselinks Foundation is all about supporting and empowering youth. ”Take a look at our recent football derby in Tharaka Nithi, dubbed the ‘Wiselinks Foundation Tournament’,’ he said on one of his social media accounts some months ago. This is even after a Milimani court two years ago released him on bond after he denied the charges of multi-million fraud.
According to the court papers in our investigations, Mr Mate, alongside Mugambe Muthe, is accused of conspiring to steal a piece of land, LR.209/10991IR 45896, measuring about 0.0590 hectares of land located at Imara Daima within Nairobi County, valued at 40,000,000 Kenyan shillings.
The accused person, Mate, was also charged with another count of forging a land title deed contrary to section 350(1) of the penal code.
The court heard that the two accused persons committed the offense at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya, jointly with others not before the court, with intent to defraud M/S PLACID VIEW LIMITED of a parcel of land, LR 209/0.590 hectares of land located at Imara Daima within Nairobi, by forged documents like a certificate of title, IR 45896 for LR 209/10991, purporting to be a genuine certificate of title issued by the Ministry of Land and Housing, Nairobi, a fact you knew to be false.
The accused person denied the wrongdoing, and they have been moving up and down within the corridors of justice to try and get off the hook.
