Folks,

We earlier put a request that Ministers clean their Ministries and put their houses together so to provide services to the public responsibly.

Can Hon. Minister Martha Karua comment to the General Public about this outfit of disrespectful behaviour on the Institution of the Judiciary.

People, what does this mean?

Are the Officials serving on these Institutions earning salaries for these kind of shoddy careless jobs? Are they worthy of Tax Payers Money? Can we and the General Public request for staffing overhaul so work can commence and be seen to follow Judiciary protocals and proceedural laws as laid down?

We have people in Public Services whose usefulness are long spent and are questionable. Can they be given leave of Office so they are replaced with vibrant work oriented personnel?

What is the Law here?

A NAIROBI court yesterday issued an arrest warrant against Kamukunji constituency parliamentary candidate Simon Mbugua Ng¢ang¢a for failing to appear for a criminal case.

The politician is facing charges of stealing over Sh1.1 million. Mbugua, who is a car dealer, is facing other counts of obtaining money by false pretences and issuing fake cheques while knowing his account had no funds.

When the case came up for him to take plea, police Superintendent J. Cairo informed trial magistrate Stella Muketi the accused was not in court. He, however, applied for his arrest warrant for failure to turn up to plead to the charges. The magistrate granted the prosecution¢s application and subsequently issued the arrest order against Mbugua.

She also directed that the case be mentioned on August 15, 2008 upon which Mbugua was expected to have been arrested by investigators. The charge against Mbugua states that on September 8, 2007, at Langata Road Motors, in Lang¢ata, Nairobi, he stole Sh1, 100, 000 which he received on account of one Khalid Ashur Muhud. He also faces a second count that states that on February 13, 2008, at Lang¢ata Road Motors, Mbugua with intent to defraud, falsely obtained Sh700, 000 from Mwaniki Patrick Thuo.

He received the cash after allegedly falsely pretending that a motor vehicle registration number KBA 335M, Toyota Spacio, he was selling was registered with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and issued with a log book, a fact he knew to be false.

The parliamentary contender is also charged with obtaining Sh750, 000 from Ondieki Benson Nyagah by falsely pretending a motor vehicle registration number KAV 245N (Toyota Corona) he was selling to him is registered with KRA and issued with a logbook.

The offence is said to have been committed on February 28, 2006 at Lang¢ata Road Motors. He is further accused of issuing two bad cheques number 001331 for Sh510, 000 to one Munsukh Kholsa knowing that his account No. 1200000969 held at the NIC Bank, had insufficient funds. He is also accused of issuing another bouncing cheque No. 001295 for Sh255, 000 to one Harpreet Singh.
