A Magistrates Court has released businessman Jimi Wanjigi on a personal bond of Sh10 million pending a ruling on whether it will defer his plea taking on allegations of being in possession of unlicenced firearms.
Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi at the same time directed Wanjigi to deposit his passport in court pending the ruling to be delivered on September 12
This is after Wanjigi, through his legal team led by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Willis Otieno, applied to have the plea taking deferred, claiming their client’s rights had been violated.
They argued that there was a high court order issued by Justice Bahati Mwamuye stopping his arrest and detention.
Muite told the court that the proceedings were already flawed based on the existing High Court order.
