Nominated Senator Paul Njoroge was charged in a Naivasha
court on Wednesday morning with creating a disturbance.
Mr Njoroge shot twice in the air on Tuesday with his pistol
after rival groups clashed at a petrol station he operates on the outskirts of
Naivasha town.
In his submissions, lawyer Steve Luseno, representing Vivo
Energy Kenya Managing Director Polycarp Igathe and two others, called for
proper investigations into the incident by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
He said the charges brought against Mr Njoroge were likely
to “insulate a crime that was committed.”
He also claimed that the charge sheet did not reflect the
recorded statements and complaint launched by his clients.For example, he said,
a firearm owned by the accused was not mentioned and urged the court to bar the
accused from making telephone calls to the lawyer's clients
Mr Luseno also wanted the matter to be heard in another
court, preferably in Nairobi, calling Mr Njoroge “influential and with a huge
following” in Naivasha Sub-County.
