The Firearms Licensing Board has given businesswoman Mary Wambui until December 15 to surrender her pistol.
This is after the board said the pistol that Wambui has is illegal.
“I demand that you produce before me firearm type CZ75 Compact serial number……on December 15, 2021 while well secured,” the board chairman Charles Mukindia said.
In a demand letter to Wambui, Mukindia said it is an offense to fail to comply with the said demand.
When Kenya Revenue Authority and Directorate of Criminal Investigations officers raided Weston Hotel last week, they found Wambui’s abandoned handbag with an assortment of personal identification documents and cash money.
“In the process of preparing an inventory we came across a firearm licensing certificate number… issued to you by the Firearms Licensing Board. The said license expired on 17/04/2020.”
“By implication, you are illegally processing the firearm.”
The board chairman cited the law and demanded the weapon be surrendered to his office.
The CZ75 pistol is a semi automatic weapon is a most common handgun.
Wambui who is accused of evading tax totaling to Sh2.2 billion was December 9 released on Sh25 million cash bail.
Her co-accused, Purity Njoki Mungai was also released with the same amount.
