MP Ken Chonga, Teddy Mwambire and two others charged over Azimio demos

From left:  Former Mtepeni MCA Victor Katana, Kilifi Speaker Teddy Mwambire, Patrick Chiro and Kilifi South MP Ken Chonga at the Mombasa Law court on July 20, 2023. The charge sheet read out to them indicates that on July 19, at Mtwapa, in Kilifi County, they took part in a procession (maandamano) and chanted anti-government slogans, causing the public to reasonably fear that they were assembling to commit a breach of peace. 

Kilifi South MP Ken Chonga and Kilifi Speaker Teddy Mwambire will spend another night in remand over the ongoing demonstration called by Azimio la Umoja coalition. 

Mr Chonga and Mr Mwambire, who were arrested in Mtwapa on Wednesday, were Thursday charged with participating in unlawful assembly.
