State House Comptroller Lawrence
Lenayapa has been summoned to testify in a case against Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter and his nominated
counterpart Sonia Birdi.
The High Court on Tuesday granted the DPP's application to issue the summons.
Birdi and Keter were charged on May 20, 2015 with incitement to disobedience of the law and intimidating public officers.
They allegedly incited George Omboro the manager of the
weigh-bridge to illegally release a trailer that had been impounded for breaking the law.
Keter faces another charge of creating disturbance on January 24, 2015 at the Gilgil weighbridge.
The charge sheet stated that the legislator used unprintable words while
demanding the release of the trailer, registration
number KHMA 005A.
Keter allegedly also said: “When the president calls my friend you have to respect whatever who you
are. You know my worry is let me tell you the truth, we are the government,
State House Comptroller anawapigia simu no one picks.”
