Nairobi governorship aspirant Bishop Margaret Wanjiru had a long day in court after being charged with attempting to disrupt the Jubilee party nominations.

It was a nail biting experience for the former lawmaker, who looked tired and unkempt as her lawyers haggled with prosecutors for her freedom. And when Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi spoke, Wanjiru was shocked to learn she would spend five more days in police custody until May 2 when she would be released on bond. This will be on condition she pays Sh500,000, as bond, and two sureties of similar amount.
