On July 29, Gikaria was accused of dumping solid and liquid waste on a public highway on different occasions between July 11 and July 16 within Nakuru town.
Gikaria on October 19, the MP urged the court to give him a week to finalise on the negotiations between the defense and complainants in order to settle the matter outside the court.
