In the first count, he is charged with intent to deceive, knowingly and fraudulently making a false document namely a certificate of admission p.105/21249/22 in the name of Brian Mwenda N.
He allegedly purported it to be a certificate of Admission to practice as an Advocate of the High Court duly issued by the deputy registrar of the High Court.

He faces another charge of fraudulently uttering a forged certificate of Admission in the name of Brian Mwenda N on March 3, 2023, at the law firm of Mwangi Kiai LLP Advocates offices in Westlands within Nairobi.

The court heard on October 9, at the law firm of Micheka Omwenga and company advocates offices, that the accused person forged a practising certificate for the year 2023.
Mwenda is also alleged that on August 14, 2023, at an unknown place, he fraudulently and dishonestly used Advocates Admission, a unique identifier, assigned to Brian Mwenda Ntwiga, an Advocate of the High Court, to access and use the Law Society of Kenya online advocates account belonging to Ntwiga purporting to be him.
