Pokot South MP David Pkosing’s application for anticipatory bail has been certified as urgent by the High Court.
Pkosing was arrested last week on suspicion of financing bandits. However, in a court application, the MP claims it is a witch hunt.
Pkosing has dismissed the claims through his lawyer, Danstan Omari, claiming that he is being persecuted for bailing out seven men in a court case.
“I am being persecuted solely for offering to bail out seven young men from Kitale Law Court who were arraigned on 6/02/2023 in Kitale Misc Criminal Case No. E023 OF 2023,” court papers state.
Pkosing, according to Omari, stepped in to help the seven because they are from Pokot South, which he represents in the National Assembly.
He wants the court to stay his arrest until his application is heard.
Pkosing claims that he has been summoned to DCI on Friday and is concerned that when he arrives, he will be arrested, similar to the famous ‘kamata kamata’ Friday arrests.
