In 2023, a different Kenyan official, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi, was implicated in a fake gold syndicate case involving a Dubai-based company.
She was accused of conspiring to fraudulently obtain over Sh100 million under the pretense of selling gold bars that were never delivered.
Amadi has denied these allegations, stating she will defend herself in court to set the record straight.
Subsequently, the court lifted orders that had frozen her bank accounts due to insufficient evidence linking her to the alleged fraud.
Additionally, in 2020, reports emerged of Kenyans falling victim to job scams in Dubai, where they were promised lucrative employment but were instead abandoned and exploited.
