He allegedly had the said firearm without lawful authority or excuse on February 18, 2021.

His lawyer Nyaribo asked the court to release him on a free bond arguing that the former MP has other pending cases in the same court and therefore not a flight risk.

His lawyer Nyaribo asked the court to release him on a free bond arguing that the former MP has other pending cases in the same court and therefore not a flight risk.

“We urge the court to indulge him by committing him to free bond for the reason he has really deposited alot of money in court already.We urge you commit the accused on free bond because he is a known accused person,” argued the lawyer.

Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku declined to release him on a free bond and directed he be released on Ksh300,000 bond or a cash bail of Ksh200,000.
