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.
