Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati has been released on a Sh5 million bond with an option of a Sh1.5 million cash bail following his arrest on allegations of involvement in corruption.
He was arraigned on Tuesday, September 2, and denied corruption charges brought against him by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) following an investigation of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) into his tenure.
Wangamati was presented before the Milimani Law Courts to take a plea on 27 charges, including alleged conflict of interest and acquisition of proceeds of crime.
He pleaded "not guilty" to all counts, setting the trial in motion.
