What you need to know:

  • Mr Aroko told the court that he would abide by the directions issued and would also avail his passport to the Kibera Court.
  • Over 10 suspects have been arrested and detained in connection with the cold-blooded murder of Mr Were, a second-term MP.

Businessman-cum-politician, Philip Aroko, who had been released two weeks ago on bond and then re-arrested over the murder of Kasipul MP Charles Were, has been granted a cash bail of Sh300,000 by the High Court in Kibera.

In the MP’s murder case, Mr Aroko, who was arrested over the April 30 fatal shooting of the legislator, was initially detained and later freed by a Jomo Kenyatta International Airport court on a bond of Sh300,000.
