A Nairobi Law Court in Milimani will on Tuesday rule on whether it will compel Millitoni Mwendwa Alias Kitute former Kitui MP aspirant to provide passwords of his electronic gadgets to EACC sleuths who are probing him for allegedly impersonating their officers.
The gadgets are mobile phones and laptops including an Apple MacBook.
Mwendwa was arraigned in court today where the prosecution sought to have him detained for 14 days pending completion of investigations.
Mwendwa was arrested in Kitui on April 10 following a complaint made against him.
During his arrest, EACC and DPP said they managed to recover several items in his possession including a mobile phone registered with Safaricom under the name of Nicodemus Nguli Kasee.
They also found a Law Society of Kenya member identification card bearing Mwendwa’s name although he is not an advocate.
“Preliminary investigations by the commission reveal that Mwendwa is a serial fraudster seeking for benefit from members of the public on the house of being an employee of EACC as well as other institutions,” read their affidavit.
His advocate was opposed to his client being compelled to provide passwords for the gadgets saying it was in breach of his rights.
He told Magistrate Zipporah Gichana that out of the 12 gadgets, two belonged to his client.
He argued that the allegations before the court were mere fabrications meant to discredit his client to seek political mileage.
