The high-stakes fraud scandal involving former OKI General Trading director, Honey Khatwani, has taken another dramatic turn. Police are now moving to arrest his wife, Poonam Khatwani, over allegations that she was involved in the theft of KSh 356 million from the company.
A warrant of arrest has already been issued, and officers are expected to pick her up at any time. Once arrested, she will be held at Parklands Police Station before appearing in court on Monday to take her plea. This latest development shows investigators are widening their net as they dig deeper into the multi-million shilling fraud.
Sources close to the probe suggest that Poonam may have played a role in the scheme allegedly masterminded by her husband. Her looming arrest raises tough questions about who else may have been involved in siphoning company funds.
Honey Khatwani himself was charged in June 2025 at the Milimani Law Courts, accused of stealing USD 2.78 million (about Sh356 million) between January 2020 and June 2024 while serving as director. Prosecutors claim he abused his position for more than four years to orchestrate the theft.
Now, with his wife and others under the spotlight, the prosecution appears determined to unmask the full network behind the fraud. Another suspect, Jayesh Soni, has also been linked to the case and could be arrested soon.
All eyes will be on Monday’s court session, when Poonam is expected to be formally charged — a key moment in a case that continues to shake the business community.
