A Nairobi court has directed the prosecution to supply the
defense with statements of President Uhuru Kenyatta and
Raila Odinga, if there are any, in a case where two persons
were charged for allegedly leaking CCTV footage that
captured the President and his entourage in the Nairobi CBD
in June this year.
Issuing the orders on Tuesday, Trial Magistrate Bernard
Ochoi further directed the case be mentioned on October
29, 2020 for the court to give directions on the CCTV
footage provided.
The accused; Patrick Rading Ambogo and Magoma Ayonga,
were charged with the offence of unauthorized interception
of computer data contrary to section 17(1) of the Computer
Misuse and Cyber Crime Act.
They were charged that on June 2, 2020 at around 8pm they
intercepted a security CCTV footage capturing the Head of
State’s entourage along Kenyatta avenue.
They pleaded not guilty and were released on a cash bail of
Ksh.10,000 or bond of Ksh.30,000 each on June 17th.
Through their lawyer Danstan Omari, the two accused
persons rubbished the charge levelled against them saying it
does not exist in law, and further asked that the President
records a statement on the matter.
