The prosecution has asked the court to deny alleged fake lawyer Brian Mwenda’s bail.
The prosecution says that if released on bail, Mwenda will not attend court proceedings.
The court was told that Mwenda’s conduct demonstrates that he has no regard for the law and that he evaded the police for more than four days.
Additionally, the prosecution stated that investigations are still ongoing and that Mwenda may face additional charges for criminal offenses.
The prosecution claimed that by allowing the accused to remain free on bond, “he has given the public the impression that it is possible to get away with a criminal activity” and that doing so would send the incorrect message.
Through its President Eric Theuri, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) announced that former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had arranged for Mwenda to attend college abroad. The LSK further stated that if Mwenda is released on bond, it is possible he will not be present for the proceedings.
In a video that was played in court, Theuri asked the court to note the remarks made by the accused and the Governor in which he intimated that they looked relaxed and unbothered despite the gravity of the accusations.
