Mumias East MP arraigned after 3 days in police custody

Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has been released on a bond of KSh 200,000 following his arraignment at the Milimani Law Courts earlier today. The legislator had spent three days in police custody after his arrest last Friday. He faces charges related to hate speech, with prosecutors accusing him of making inflamatory remarks that could incite public unrest. Salasya’s legal team argued for his release on bail, citing his cooperation with investigators and status as a public servant. The court granted the request, setting the bail at KSh 200,000 pending further proceedings.
