Migori Governor Okoth Obado will spend two more nights at the Industrial Area Remand Prison, pending the determination of his bail application.
The hearing of Obado’s bail application took place on Tuesday afternoon, with Judge Jessie Lessit saying she would deliver her ruling on Thursday, September 27.
Through lawyer Nicholas Ombija, Mr Obado said it is not sufficient to demonstrate that he is a Governor but the court must be given compelling reason to deny him bail.
He further said the allegations that some witnesses have been threatened has not been linked to him.
Mr Obado said he has the right to bail and having a strong case, as alleged by the prosecution, is not compelling reason.
Kenyans have reacted to his defense team with some questioning its ability to defend the accused .
Heres a look at what some said
Obado will regret having the pathetic defense team he has. https://t.co/aJnOBY4yYe
