Kitui MCA Cyrus Musyoka in Court Over Alleged KSh609,000 Phone Theft

A Kitui County MCA has appeared in court over allegations that he stole 42 smartphones from a Nairobi shop.

Cyrus Kisavi Musyoka, who represents Ikanga/Kyatune Ward, denied the theft charge before Milimani Chief Magistrates’ Court.

The Director of Public Prosecutions said the accused was arrested on October 22, 2026.

Prosecutors allege the phones were stolen on August 5 from a shop along Luthuli Avenue.

The shop belonged to Dahir Adan Mohamud, who reportedly lost 42 Itel City 200 smartphones.

Each handset was valued at KSh14,500, bringing the total value of the disputed consignment to KSh609,000.

Prosecutors Cite Two Other Incidents

The ODPP also linked Musyoka to two separate alleged phone theft incidents in Nairobi.

The incidents, reported in August and September 2026, involved consignments valued at KSh1.8 million and KSh420,000.

Prosecutors said the three cases involved mobile phones worth KSh4,906,050 altogether.

The prosecution opposed his release on bail, citing concerns about his previous court attendance.

It argued that his alleged failure to attend earlier proceedings could increase the risk of him absconding.

Musyoka has denied the charge, and the allegations remain subject to determination by the court.
