He also faces another charge of forging a national identity card in the name Ruth Katungulu and an allotment letter. The court heard that he pretended to be the son of Ruth Katungulu, the owner of the plot.
Prosecutor Joseph Kenga told the court that Njenga was released on bond last year but disappeared. He thus cautioned the court against releasing him on bond saying he is likely to abscond court proceedings.
