Arrest Warrant Issued Against Governor Wambora

A court in Nyeri County has issued an arrest warrant against Embu Governor Martin Wambora alongside three county officials. 

The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nyeri faulted the governor alongside County Secretary County Jason Nyaga, the Finance and Economic Planning Executive John Njagi and his Chief Officer Ruth Ndirangu for failing to appear in court for sentencing. 

Last week, the four officials were found in contempt of court over Kenya County Government Workers' Union statutory fees remittance.

Justice Njagi Marete noted that the officials defied a court order issued in December instructing them to oblige to the directive.
