A hardware worker who allegedly withheld Sh140, 000 mistakenly sent to his Mpesa account was charged with intentionally withholding payment delivered erroneously contrary to section 35 of the computer misuse and cybercrime Act of 2018.  

Tony Munyoki Kimanzi was charged with withholding electronic payment after receiving the money delivered to his mobile number by Abdikadir Muhumed from his M-banking Equity Bank account on December 25 last year, which ought to have been delivered to a different person.
