Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria Fined Sh75,000 for Flouting COVID-19 Protocols
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been sentenced to eight months in prison or pay a fine of Sh75,000 for flouting COVID-19 regulations.
Appearing before Kiambu Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo, Kuria and 10 others pleaded guilty to charges of flouting COVID-19 containment measures.
Each of the accused persons faced five counts including failure to wear a mask, breaking curfew hours, and unlawful assembly.
They were each fined Sh75,000 or serve eight months in prison if they fail to pay the fine.
The vocal MP and his co-accused were arrested on Tuesday night by officers from Karuri Police Station in Kiambu County.
The arrest came after officers were tipped off that the group was holding a political meeting in a Kiambaa hotel in disregard of the COVID-19 containment measures announced by President Kenyatta and the Health Ministry.
