A Nakuru court has adjourned the hearing of hate speech and offensive conduct case against Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi after one of the investigating officers went into self-isolation after coming into contact with a Covid-19 patient.

Yesterday, Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecution Daniel Karuri told Senior Resident Magistrate Isaac Orenge that the officer came into contact with a Covid-19 patient within Nakuru.
