Nick Mwendwa’s arrest on Friday was done in bad faith and is unconstitutional his lawyers told the court before securing his release on a cash bail of 4 million shillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mwendwa’s lawyers who included Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, Tom Ojienda, Erik Mutua, Nelson Havi and Johh Khaminwa were opposing the prosecution request to keep Mwendwa for an extra 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prosecution argued that they needed more time to interview witnesses and collect documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Erick Mutua dismissed this argument saying the investigation was based on the report of a fourteen day inspection which was released on the 5th meaning the State had an extra 10 days to carry out any additional investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also argued that by putting in place a caretaker committee the CS had already taken over FKF and therefore the issue of Mwendwa’s influence does not arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawyers also took issue with the report of the inspection Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The report talks about 500 million but the DCI are only looking at 29.5 and 8.5 that is bad faith,” Mutua argued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ojienda argued Mwendwa was being held illegally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What is the charge? They don’t even know and they want to hold our client.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
