Machakos County women rep appear in court

The Machakos County women Representative, Dr, Susan Musyoka today appeared in Machakos court for treason charges over her remarks on President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Susan Musyoka presented herself to the Senior Resident Magistrate Irene Kahuya on Monday as sought anticipatory bail accompanied by a group of supporters.

The magistrate set the determination of the bail terms for Tuesday and restrained the police from arresting Dr Musyoka.

According to her lawyer Mr Haroun Ndubi, Dr Musyoka had received a call from the County Commander Jacinta Wesonga requiring her to record a statement on utterances that she had made last week.

“The Women Representative is being sought by the Police. She surrendered herself to the courts today as a law-abiding citizen. The court has directed that it will deliver its comprehensive ruling tomorrow,” Mr Ndubi told journalists at the end of the court session.
