Ruth Odinga, Fred Outa Charged With Incitement To Violence, Freed On Bond

NASA leader Raila Odinga’s sister Ruth Odinga and Kisumu Senator Fred Outa have been charged with malicious damage to property and disrupting an IEBC officials training on Wednesday.

The DPP directed the two to be charged with “obstructing an election officer from executing his lawful duties, incitement to violence and malicious damage of property contrary to several sections in the Election Offences Act as well as section 339 (1) of the penal code.”

They on Monday appeared at a Kericho court where they were freed on a Sh 500,000 bond each.

The DPP, Keriako Tobiko called for the prosecution of the two Kisumu leaders for attacking the IEBC officials.

“Upon perusal of the file and analysis of the evidence on record, DPP finds the evidence sufficient to warrant prosecution of the two suspects and their accomplices,” read the letter dated October 23.
