FKF President Nick Mwendwa has been released on a Kshs. 4 million cash bail or Kshs 7 million bond.
The embattled football chief has been barred from accessing his office at Kandanda house and has also been ordered not to do any media interviews. Mwendwa is also barred from attending any football activities.
The court is expected to give a ruling on Wednesday 17th November on whether it will allow prosecution to detain him for 14 more days.
Earlier in the day, the prosecution filed an application seeking to detain Mwendwa for two weeks to enable it obtain some crucial documents and thoroughly conduct pending investigations. “We make our submission on two compelling grounds. The respondent was a president of FKF and was in the management of public funds entrusted by the government of Kenya and other donors. Real apprehension is that he is likely to influence evidence or intimidate witnesses if they are not allowed time to conclude investigation."
"Two , we need to obtain certain documents of interest that are important to this case but are in the custody of the respondent. These are public documents that are not private or personal. We were unable to access FKF’s offices because they were closed. Our prayer is that these documents are subject to examination to enable conclusion of investigation,”said Evelyn Onunga, the State’s representative.
