Our leaders have failed to be the role models we need to emulate as a society and that’s why they are trending every day in criminal sagas.
Forget the normal assembly fights we are now used to, an embarrassing drama has been reported involving county officials desperate to avoid justice.
Mombasa county Finance Executive Maryam Mbaruk and her Chief Officer Aisha Abdi on Wednesday locked themselves in their offices to avoid arrest.
The activities at the county came to a standstill as police officers tried to affect the court order and arrest the two officials.
Police were unable to arrest the two and asked for reinforcement, The delay in their arrival allowed the two to sneak out escaping arrest.
The court had ordered that the two county official jailed for contempt of court after they failed to pay the lawyer his legal fees amounting to Sh 18 Million even after a court order.
The county lawyers had committed to pay the lawyer within 60 days and they failed to do so. The payment was part of what Mombasa county owed him for his fees.
