The evidence established that the appellant, through misrepresentation and with intent to defraud, obtained Ksh. 2,350,000 from the complainant by falsely representing that he could sell a parcel of land he did not own. The court found the appellant's defence to be an afterthought and unsupported by evidence. The trial court properly acquitted the appellant on charges not proved but correctly convicted him on the counts of obtaining by false pretence. The sentence imposed,…
