Honey Khatwani
A jaw-dropping corporate scandal has erupted in Nairobi’s business scene after a top executive, Honey Khatwani, at OKI General Trading Limited, was dragged to court over allegations of stealing a mind-blowing Ksh. 356 million from the very company he helped run.
Honey Khatwani, a well-known director at the firm, was arraigned before Milimani Principal Magistrate Dolphina Alego, accused of syphoning off a staggering USD 2,786,174.40 (that’s over Ksh. 356 million) right under his colleagues’ noses.
The alleged white-collar crime is believed to have taken place quietly but consistently over four and a half years, between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2024, all within OKI’s operations in the upmarket Barbado area of Nairobi.
The courtroom drama has set tongues wagging in Kenya’s corporate corridors, reigniting fiery debates around corporate theft, internal audits, and the urgent need for tighter boardroom checks.
As the case unfolds, Nairobi’s business community is watching closely because if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere.
