Two Migori-based advocates Kerario Marwa and Samuel Odingo have been charged at the Kisii Law Court with fraud and forgery after being linked to the forgery and uttering false documents used to pay non-existing farmers at the troubled Sony Sugar Company.

The use of false judicial documents could have led to the loss of more than Sh500, 000 at the Sugar Company.
