Juja MP George Koimburi was granted Sh500,000 bail by a Kiambu court on allegations of skipping four hearings in his academic forgery case.

Magistrate Mwanamkuu Sudi dismissed a plea by Director of Public Prosecutions to have the MP remanded in custody pending hearing and determination of his forgery case which was revived last week. The prosecution had filed an application seeking to deny the accused bail, citing his history of failing to attend court sessions in a previous case filed in 2021.
