Juja MP George Koimburi fled on a motorcycle to evade what his
lawyer Ndegwa Njiru has termed as an ‘abduction’ attempt.
“My client Hon. Koimburi has narrowly escaped abduction just
outside the Kiambu Law courts,” Lawyer Njiru said.
The MP who was released on a Sh200,000 cash bail on
Wednesday had Thursday attended court for direction on whether he would take a plea on a charge of failing to attend court on numerous dates.
Shortly after the court session, the MP addressed a press
conference alongside his Lawyer Njiru, Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo and other
officials.
While addressing the presser, the MP was seen in a video
being signalled by an official, a move that abruptly ended the presser.
The MP was immediately seen alerting his legal team and they
walked out of the place where they were addressing the media in haste.
As they moved towards the car, a group of men in civilian clothes
were seen attempting to grab the MP’s hand but were thwarted by his legal team.
The MP and his team were then seen scampering in the
opposite direction where he is reported to have boarded a motorbike and disappeared
from the scene.
Koimburi had appeared before Kiambu law court where the magistrate scheduled the case for a ruling on February 25 to determine whether different bond terms would be imposed.
