Miguna declines to take plea at Kajiado Court

The self-declared general of the outlawed NRM faction, Miguna Miguna has declined to take plea at the Kajiado Court where he was arraigned today morning.

Miguna insists his case must be heard before Judge Luka Kimaru in Nairobi.

He was arraigned in Kajiado despite Judge Kimaru ordering on Monday that he be presented at the Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday morning.

According to the charge sheet, which Miguna’s lawyers have dismissed as defective, he was charged with being present and consenting to the administration of an oath to commit a capital offense namely treason contrary to Section 59 (a) of the penal code.

“On the 30th day of January 2018, at Uhuru Park in Nairobi County, jointly with others not before court, were present and consented to the administration of an oath to Raila Amollo Odinga purporting to bind the said Raila Amollo Odinga to commit a capital offense of treason.

Miguna’s advocates now want the court to direct the Kajiado court to release their client and his file to the Milimani court.

The ruling will be delivered at 2pm.
