High Court Judge Francis Gikonyo writes to Tobiko to arrest and prosecute Moses Wetangula


Former Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula's woes seems to be far from over, particularly after Bungoma High Court Judge Francis Gikonyo wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko wanting him to arrest and subsequently prosecute the former senator over electoral malpractices.

In a letter dated September 30th, the High Court judge says Moses Wetangula committed an electoral for what he termed as 'treating voters' during the March 4th general elections.

He also noted that he stripped Wetangula of his senatorial seat after he found him culpable of electoral malpractices and asked the office of the DPP to open criminal charges against him.

This comes a big blow to Wetangule since he will not be able to contest again in the by election that expected to come in the near future.

Some members of the CORD coalition have already branded this a 'jubilee plot' to lock out Moses Wetangula in the by election.

Meanwhile, Wetangula who was the only member of the three CORD's principals to sit in either parliament or senate, faces up to five years in prison if in any case found guilty.
