Lugari MP Ayub Savula has been released along side his two wives on cash bail of Ksh 1millon or Ksh Ksh 2million bond with a surety of the similar amount.
The three pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud in the Government Advertising Agency scandal case.
MP Savula was arrested on Friday by the DCI officers in Nairobi with his two wives barely months after President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed to deal with corrupt individual in the government, another corrupt legistature spends night in Muthaiga police station.
Now the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has ordered for the prosecution of Lugari MP Ayub Savula and his daughter and wife Melody Gatwiri Ringera and Helen Jepkorir Kemboi for obtaining money by false pretenses from the Government Advertising Agency.
The three are directors of seven companies that fraudulently received monies allocated for legitimate media houses that have provided advertising services to the government.
Their companies are; Sunday Publishers, Melsav Company, Johnnewton Communications, Express Media Group, No Burns Protection Agencies, Cross Continents Ventures and Shieldlock Ltd.
The MP and his wives will not be allowed to travel outside the country and that their passports will be presented at the DCI Headquarters tomorrow by 5PM.
Savula had in May proposed that suspects in Sh 1 billion and above graft cases be publicly executed.
“Someone who steals Sh1 billion is equivalent to a murderer. How many people would die in hospitals for lack of medicine as a result of the theft?” Savula said at the time.
The legislator said there were many “big thieves” living in their homes while petty thieves rot in the jails.
Speaking during a memorial service for the late housing minister Soita Shitanda at Butali village on May 28, Savula also said EACC should be given prosecutorial powers.
However the MP and his wives were banned by court from traveling out side country until the completion of the investigations.
