He has been ordered not to step into office until case is determined. This is how to deal with corrupt leaders, heavy bail and lock them out of workplace.
The governor was on Tuesday hit with the highest ever cash bail term in the country after Nairobi Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti ordered him to pay a cash bail of Sh100 million.
