A Makueni MCA and five of his former colleagues were on Tuesday charged in a Makueni court with obtaining allowances for a 2014 trip to Dubai which was sponsored by Kibwezi West MP Patrick Musimba.

Nguu/Masumba Ward Representative Timothy Maneno and former MCAs Bernard Musau (Makindu), John Mwenze (Nguumo), Cosmas Mutunga (Emali/Mulala), Bensley Mathuku (Kikumbulyu North), and Bernard Kiswii (Kikumbulyu South) denied receiving Sh 175, 000 each from the county coffers when they appeared before principal magistrate James Mwaniki.
