Drama erupts in court as Natembeya’s supporters allegedly arrested

Drama erupted outside Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday following the hearing of a case against Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya.

The chaos unfolded when several members of Natembeya’s team were allegedly arrested by unidentified individuals.

In a video shared by DAP-K, men dressed in suits are seen dragging another man as he demanded to know why he was being arrested, as another questioned what was going on. 

In the background, someone is heard ordering others to keep quiet.

"What's wrong?" another man is heard asking.

The incident came just after a court session in which the prosecution admitted it had failed to comply with a previous order.

The court had ordered it to provide the defence with all materials it intends to rely on in the case against Natembeya.

During the proceedings, the prosecution was ordered to follow the earlier directions.

“Those documents and statements ought to have been supplied by now... I therefore direct the prosecution to comply with the earlier orders,” the magistrate ruled.

Consequently, the court ordered the prosecution to disclose all relevant materials by June 16, 2025, when the matter will be mentioned.

Governor Natembeya is facing three counts, including unlawful acquisition of public property, conflict of interest, and indirectly benefiting from public funds.
