Kenya, 25 August 2026 - The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has filed extradition proceedings against a 39-year-old Chinese national wanted in Uganda over an alleged fraud involving UGX 4.53 billion (approximately KSh 151 million).
The suspect is accused of manipulating weighbridge bills and payment vouchers while working as a cashier at Diamond Steel Uganda Limited.
In a statement on Tuesday, the DPP said that Guang allegedly exploited his access to the company’s payment documentation and financial processes to facilitate the offences.
The extradition proceedings by the DPP follow a formal request from the Ugandan government received by the DPP on June 10, 2026.
"The request, dated 18th April 2025, was transmitted through the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice and sought Kenya’s assistance in endorsing and enforcing a Ugandan warrant of arrest and facilitating Guang’s extradition to Uganda,” the DPP stated.
“ Guang was arrested on 11th August 2026 at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by officers from the Directorate of Immigration Services upon arrival from Harare, Zimbabwe,” he added.
According to the ODPP, the arrest warrant of the suspect was issued by Chief Magistrate Aciro Joan of the Mukono Chief Magistrates’ Court in Uganda.
Appearing before the court, Prosecution Counsel Fatma Shaban urged the court to order Guang’s surrender to Uganda, where he is expected to face 30 counts of forgery and one count of theft.
“Shaban opposed the respondent’s release on bond pending the hearing and determination of the extradition proceedings, citing concerns that he is a flight risk. Prosecution in this matter is led by Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda,” the statement from ODPP stated.
