In Summary
- Administrator freed on bail in fraud case involving cash meant for displaced people
The accused were Mr Moses Muniu, Mr Simon Njau, Mr Peter Muhia, Mr John Mwangi and Mr Shadrack Thuita.
The IDPs are accused of stealing five bags of maize valued at Sh11,000 from Mr Peter Macharia Nduati at Kirathimo Camp in Wamura Village of Laikipia Central District.
On Thursday, when the case came up for mention before Nanyuki resident magistrate Elijah Gichangi, lawyer Paul Muite successfully argued for affordable cash bail.
In his application, Mr Muite argued that the accused were IDPs and they did not own any title deeds, which could be deposited in court. He pleaded with the court to free the accused on a cash bail of Sh5,000, which the magistrate granted.
