Former Nakuru Town MP David Manyara was on Wednesday charged with assaulting and causing bodily harm to a Jubilee aspirant last week at Nakuru Jubilee Party headquarters.
Mr Manyara, who is also the former Nakuru County Jubilee chairman, was charged with attacking Jared Momanyi during the aspirants’ meeting on March 7 at the Jubilee offices in Milimani, Nakuru County.
Momanyi is an aspirant for MCA Kaptembwo ward.
Manyara appeared virtually before Principal Magistrate Isaac Orenge and denied the charge. He made an application, through his lawyer Karanja Mbugua, to be released on a reasonable bond.

Mr Orenge released Manyara on a cash bail of Sh10,000 with an alternative of a surety bond of Sh20,000.
Manyara was on Monday last week held briefly at Kaptembwo police station for allegedly assaulting Momanyi and Thomas Mwangi, a Nakuru senatorial aspirant.
During the chaos that erupted at the Jubilee offices, several aspirants, including Mr Manyara, allegedly engaged in a fist-fight following a disagreement over the removal of a branch official.
The aggrieved aspirants had called for a meeting to address nomination issues after some names were left out of the party’s register.

Manyara declared interest to vie for Nakuru Town East parliamentary seat on the Jubilee ticket.
The three were allegedly involved in the exchange after deferring during their speeches.
The case will be mentioned on March 31.
