A CRIMINAL CASE of three Machakos County IEBC Officials who are charged for failing
to secure Election materials in the just concluded General Elections in Machakos
fails to kick off for the Fourth time consecutively. This comes after one of the defense Lawyers ( Daniel Mwamba, Otieno Javana) says they are I'll and
can't come to Court. The Lawyers are representing Cecilia Mbula who is
an employee of Machakos County Government. The other accused two are
Boniface Mutungi, KU student and Stephen Okoth an head teacher in one
of the local schools.
Judge Abdikadir with alot alot of dismay noted that the defense side was using a lot of antics to derail the hearing process. One of the witnesses Mr.
Alex Nyaga (ICT consultant) rose on a point of order and informed
the judge that the case has been postponed for 4 consecutive hearings
yet the witnesses never fail to appear and are never compensated for
their time and resources spend to Machakos High Court.
The
Judge has directed that the witnesses be compensated for all their travel
expenses. The judge has also ruled that the case will continue on 9th of
May 2017 whether the defense team is ready or not.
