The ex-wife to a Tharaka Nithi Assembly official faced with several fraud charges at Chuka court is wanted by Meru detectives over similar charges.
Ms Rachel Gakii, the Director of Raynam Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, who is accused of conning customers at least Sh2.1 million in the Chuka matter is wanted by Imenti North Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
The accused who was on Friday denied bond during pre-bail hearing at the Chuka court was moved to Meru Police Station after spending past two weeks in custody.
Chief Magistrate John Njoroge ordered that the suspect be produced before Meru court on Monday and be later handed over to Imenti North DCI office for interrogation.
“The accused will on February 20, 2020 be brought back for mention of the case and further directions by the court,” the Magistrate said.
An earlier plea to have the accused person released was objected by the court prosecutor, Japhet Kiptum who argued that the suspect does not have a permanent residence and was a flight risk.
In the Chuka counts, the accused cunningly defrauded Handsworth Kithinji Sh505,000 and Ms Mwende Nyaga Sh60,000 promising to offer them friendly loans.
She is also accused of swindling Sh127,000 from Lucy Kamwara pretending to be an importer of various products from international market and that she would help her import shoes from China.
Ms Amanga further obtained money raging between Sh6500 to Sh54,000 from five young men promising to help them buy motorcycles what turned to be false.
Among those promised motorcycles are: Eric Kinyua who was conned Sh54,000, Benson Murithi who lost Sh45,000 and Kenneth Munene who was parted with Sh26,000.
