Sirisia MP John Waluke

Drama ensued on Thursday August 13, 2020 after two lawyers representing Sirisia MP John Waluke clashed in Court during his bail hearing.

This forced the judge to adjourn Waluke’s bail hearing to Monday August 17, after the lawyers clashed in court over who was better placed to represent the jailed lawmaker.

Waluke, who was sentenced to 67 years in jail over Ksh 300 million maize scandal, followed the cases virtually from Industrial Area Prison.

His lawyers, Elijah Ongoya and Evans Ondieki, differed on who the MP had directed to argue the bail hearing in court.

“I was appointed by Waluke himself. That is why I have put a short supplementary submission through more documents to Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji,” Ondieki stated while appearing before Justice John Onyiego.

On the other hand, Ongoya argued that he was not aware of the new documents tabled before DPP, adding that Waluke directed him to argue the MP’s case too.

Ongoya asked the court to disregard the new documents furnished by lawyer Ondieki. The attorney added that Waluke was in a position that did not call for more frustrations of the case.

“I am embarrassed at the development because I had strict instructions to represent Waluke. He is keen to have the court hear and determine the application,” Ongoya stated.

Ondieki’s efforts to represent Waluke backfired after the court was informed that Waluke was to be represented by Ongoya and another attorney, Sam Nyaberi. 

The judge did not listen to either party and threw them out of court to sort their confusion.

    since independence politics have not benefited common citizens any thing apart from those in power. currently Kenya has a public debt of Ksh 5.8 trillion. If these figure is share among 52 million kenyans irrespective of age, each has s public debt of Ksh 110,000 yet more than 90% don't have jobs. currently kenya has 3.6 tax payers and if Ksh 5.8 trillion is shared among them, each has a public debt of Ksh 1.7 million. when will kenyans be debt free?
