In a surprising turn of events, alleged fake lawyer Brian Mwenda has been granted bail by the Nairobi court, securing his freedom with a Ksh.200,000 cash deposit. The decision, made by Milimani Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina, came after a heated legal battle where the prosecution failed to present compelling reasons to deny Mwenda bail.
Mwenda’s legal saga began last week when he was formally charged with six counts, including uttering a false document, creating a false document, and forging a practicing certificate.
Unwavering, he pleaded not guilty to all charges before Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina, setting the stage for a courtroom drama that gripped the nation’s attention.
The shocking revelation of Mwenda’s alleged impersonation came to light on October 18 when he was apprehended by dedicated detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The arrest unmasked him as a fraudulent advocate, sending ripples of disbelief throughout the legal community and beyond.
Despite the prosecution’s vigorous efforts to convince the court that Mwenda should be denied bail, Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina ultimately ruled in favor of the accused. The prosecution’s argument, claiming Mwenda might flee and evade court proceedings if released, did not sway the magistrate’s decision.
However, the court did express concern over Mwenda’s disregard for the law, highlighting how he managed to evade the police for over four days.
The case, now a focal point of public interest, is scheduled for mention on November 7, promising further twists and turns as the truth behind Mwenda’s alleged impersonation unfolds. The nation watches with bated breath as the legal system navigates this intricate web of deception and justice.
