The Milimani Law Court has issued a warrant of arrest against Juja Member of Parliament George Kiombori, after he failed to appear before the court over fake abduction charges.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 16, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) confirmed that the Juja lawmaker, alongside the Kanyenya-ini Ward MCA Grace Nduta Wairimu, failed to appear before the court for the case proceedings on Wednesday.
The ODPP said that only four out of the six accused people in the case presented themselves to court, where they pleaded not guilty to the charges, and were granted bail of Ksh300,000 for each.
According to ODPP, the failure of the two to appear before the court contravened Section 117(c) of the Penal Code.
