Wanjigi firearms case

Politician Jimi Wanjigi will return to court today for the hearing of submissions into a case where the government wants him charged with illegal possession of firearms.

Wanjigi was last month arrested before being released by a magistrate's court on a Sh10 million bond after his plea was deferred.

Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi has since deferred the plea-taking in the matter after Wanjigi's lawyers led by Willis Otieno told the court there was a High Court order against him being arrested and charged.

Finland Education case

The hearing of the Finland Education scam continues today before senior principal magistrate Peter Ndege in Nakuru.

Today, the 30th witness will take to the dock to testify.

The state has lined up 222 witnesses, mostly the victims who were duped.
