He was charged alongside Brilliance Autocare Limited.
The accused person had earlier told the court to release the motor vehicle at the centre of the alleged fraud but his application was denied by both the detectives and the prosecutions.
The investigating officers in the case Denis Were and Cyrus Wambua told the told court that the money alleged to have been defrauded is suspected to have been used in purchasing the said car.
The accused person however denied the charges before Kibera senior principal magistrate Phillip Mutua of Kibera law courts.
He was released on a personal bond of Sh1 million with the surety of the same amount.
The magistrate also directed that the accused person be supplied with witness statements and documentary evidence that the prosecution will rely on during the entire case.
The case will proceed next month.
