Two men have been arraigned in Kangema for robbing a campaigner of Murang'a governor aspirant Moses Mwangi (Mzalendo Saba Saba).
Stephen Chege and Edwin Gachuru were accused of stealing property worth Sh30,000 from
James Gathatwa.
The court was told that on July 25 this year, they and others who were not in court robbed the complainant of a techno iPad, a mobile phone and an amplifier at Kiamara shopping centre in Kangema.
The prosecution said they were armed with knives and metal bars.
Principal magistrate Jerald Magori released them on Sh300,000 bond each and said the case will be mentioned on August 2.
Mwangi has accused incumbent Mwangi wa Iria of using his aides to intimidate his campaigners.
Addressing the media on Wednesday,
Mwangi accused the Governor of harassing his campaign team in a bid to intimidate them.
He said he was lucky to escape when his security aides and some of his campaigners were attacked.
The attack happened shortly after President Uhuru Kenyatta's rally at General Kago stadium in Kangema town.
The aspirant claimed his opponent's campaign vehicles trailed them to Githunguri shopping centre where he was to address residents.
"At Nyakahura, the next shopping centre, I realised the group was up to no good after they blocked the road with three trucks," he said.
Wa Iria has not commented on the allegations.
