A taxi driver who allegedly ferried Sharon Otieno to a thicket in Kodera forest where she is said to have met her death will today proceed with the cross-examination by former Migori governor Okoth Obado's lawyers.
The case will proceed before High Court Judge Cecilia Githua.
Last week on Friday, Jackson Gombe was put to task to explain the inconsistencies in his evidence before the court.
Defense counsels Rodgers Sagana and Kioki Kilukumi pointed out a number of discrepancies in Jackson Gombe's witness statement and his narration before the court.
Among them was Gombe telling the court that he had left his phone charging at a shop in Migori when he started his journey headed to Oyugis.
Call data records produced in court as evidence reveal that Gombe's mobile phone was active from 4pm to midnight.
It was captured roaming in different locations among them Pesoda, Migori forest, Oruba estate, Nyamira market and Nyasare. There were also incoming and outgoing calls.
Sagana in attempting to establish if the shop where Gombe claims to have left his phone asked the witness to explain the possibilities of his phone being active yet his statement read that his phone was off.
"I did not write that part of the statement," Gombe said.
He, however, confirmed to having read it before signing it but mentioned he might not have been keen with the details of the statement.
He maintained that he had left the phone at a certain shop in Migori and that the keeper or his brother was attending to it.
