An ally of Mavoko legislator Patrick Makau was on Monday arraigned in a Mavoko law court to answer publication of falsehood against Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti.

Felix Mambo appeared before Mavoko Chief Magistrate, Barbara Ojoo where he pleaded not guilty of the offense.

The accused is alleged to have published on social media information that was likely to cause panic, chaos or violence among citizens, contrary to Section 23 of the computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes Act 2018.

“Only Wavinya and her son can substantiate bro. Mimi na wewe tuko Kathangaita wao wanakula raha UK,” the prosecution quoted Mambo as publishing in court papers.

He was released on a cash bail of Sh. 200,000 or a bond of Sh. 300,000 and a surety of a similar amount.

Governor Wavinya Ndeti has been listed as the complainant while witnesses in the case include her son, Charles Oduwole and Machakos County Secretary, Muya Ndambuki.

Mention of the case was slated for November 18, 2024.
