A security guard has been arraigned in a Nakuru court to answer charges of stealing a generator worth Sh 500, 000 from his employer.
David Osoro, 45, denied that on the night of November 15 this year, being a security guard at Vineyard Resort in Nakuru town, he conspired with others not before the court to steal the generator.
The prosecution told the court before Chief Resident Magistrate Patrick Mwaniki that the accused was on duty on the day and he failed to act in accordance to his terms of service as a security guard to prevent the theft.
The generator was reportedly found missing the following day by other employees at the hotel who reported the matter to the management.

The accused denied the allegations and was remanded until the case is heard on December 18. This is after failing to raise a cash bond of Sh 200, 000.
Justice Mwaniki advised the accused to seek the services of a lawyer.
