Suspended Cabinet secretary Michael Kamau was in court today after days of playing hide-and-seek to avoid arrest by anti-graft authorities. He pleaded not guilty to four charges related to abuse of office and failure to follow procurement rules and was released on a Ksh3 million bond with a similar surety or a cash bail of Ksh1 million.
Mr Kamau, who appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Lawrence Mogambi, was charged alongside Nicholas Mburu Ngang’a and Kaka Matemu Kithyo. Both also denied the charges against them. Mr Ngang’a was released on similar terms to the CS, while the third accused was released on a Ksh600,000 bail.
The suspended Transport secretary had appeared in court earlier as directed by a High Court judge hearing an application he filed Tuesday seeking to stop the planned prosecution. (Business Daily)
