Wanjiru in trouble

An election petition filed by former Starehe MP Maina Kamanda has been postponed.

This follows an application by Bishop Margaret Wanjiru's lawyer Chacha Odera to adjourn the case to allow him study evidence produced in court by Kamanda's lawyer, Kioko Kilukumi.

Kilukumi early this week produced a video tape that was played in court allegedly showing Bishop Margaret Wanjiru dismissing 2007 parliamentary results for Starehe constituency.

Kilukumi told the court that he intends to produce more evidence against Wanjiru who is also the Housing Assistant Minister.

Wanjiru has maintained she never called for a repeat of elections in Starehe and never doubted the outcome adding that the clip may have been edited.

During cross-examination, she told the court that she could not recall when the video clips were captured.

The cross examination continues on the 30th of this month.
