Tuesday, July 25, 2023 –Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has accused Government of planting cases on those who differ with it.

Speaking just minutes after leaving the court room today Tuesday July 25, Mr. Njenga, outside Makadar Law Courts, urged the government to stop witch-hunt against those with different political stand.

He noted that, after securing his bail term so that to run the case from outside, justice will prevail at last despite the ongoing witch-hunt.

He added that he is no longer involved in drugs and murder and neither does he run the illegal sect of Mungiki as claimed by his detractors.

“Let this government take people to court on crimes that can be substantiated. It’s wrong to take people to jail with planted crimes like bhang and murder.

“I am now an ordained bishop and I cannot be involved int the crimes I am being charged with,” he told the Standard newspaper.

Njenga urged every of their supporter to continue keeping peace and unity for the sake of the country even as the nation faces leadership challenges.

Maina Njega was finally produced to the courts on Monday July 24 morning following an order which asked the Inspector General Police Japhet Koome to produce the accused so that his case could be determined.

His lawyers moved to court under habeas corpus terms and obtained an order requiring police to produce him in court on July 24.

Habeas corpus is a writ issued by a court directing one who holds another in custody to produce the person before the court for a specified purpose.

Njenga had been arrested together with two relatives and, for days, hidden at a cell that was not known by either his lawyers and relatives.

The former Mungiki leader was today freed on sh 100,000 cash bail after denying five charges, at the Makadara Court. His co-accused were also freed.

The magistrate, who presided over the case, said, there were no compelling reasons advanced by the State to have Maina and co-accused persons detained pending trial.
