What you need to know:

  • Ng’eno was charged Monday with hate speech and conduct likely to result in breach of peace over remarks he issued at the weekend about President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mau Forest.
  • The magistrate said that the prosecution did not give compelling reasons for the court to deny Mr Ng’eno bond.

A court in Nakuru on Thursday granted Emurua Dikirr MP Johanna Ng’eno, who is facing hate speech and offensive conduct charges bail.

Chief Magistrate Elizabeth Usui freed Mr Ng’eno on Sh2 million bond with surety or an alternative cash bail of Sh1 million.
