I’m aware that security has been beefed up in this premises we are operating from and that security should not be an issue. Any part seeking for a health break including the court shall communicate accordingly. So we shall proceed,” ruled the judge.

These guys don't even look scared. It is because they know this is all a joke nothing will happen to them. Soon they will be out on bail and that is the last we will see them being paraded like goats. What a joke, absolutely no faith with the justice system.

Only fools would expect them not to deny fraud. Accountability begins at the top; therefore, they are guilty of the counts as charged. To set example, they court ought to subject them the public lynching; similar to the one subjected to chicken thieves. The wrath of the Kenyan taxpayer must be communicated thus for the message to sink into those who steal public property.

I am not sure of what significance
the name Muthoni is. Is it tribal reasoning you can't get over? In any case, Omollo sat his behind on the couch as his darling Muthoni went on a looting spree and never raised a sound to say Luos do not steal. OMOLLO is NOT innocent and should be behind the docket at least holding the darling's hand. I can only hope he will not be marrying Akinyi and living happily ever after given the loot after Muthoni changes residence(hopefully) to Kamiti.

Keep a close eye on these cases. I can bet you money that none of the principals will ever see the inside of a prison. Corrupt justice system will be corrupted as usual. These guys don't seem to be worried since the know very well that Kenyan justice is for sale. Until the wananchi say enough is enough it will be business as usual with all these corrupt government employees. Wananchi wake up from your long sleep. Every government employee should be forced to account for their wealth.
