Three politicians from Eldama Ravine have been arraigned before a Nakuru court over poaching.
The three were charged for allegedly being in possession of four pieces of elephant tusks.
According to the prosecution, the suspects were arrested at Nakuru hotel.
The three, Amos Lumet, Jacob Rono Tubei and James Yegon Chelugo, were MCA aspirants in Baringo.
The accused persons denied the charges before the chief magistrate Josephat Kalo.
“I plead with the court to release my clients on a lenient and reasonable bond term and cash bail. All of them are breadwinners for their families and denying them bond will be an infringement of their right,” their lawyer John Ochang said.
They have released the three accused persons on a bond of Sh2 million with an alternative cash bail of Sh1 million each.
The case will be mentioned on March 20.
