The hearing of a malicious damage case facing a Nakuru MCA on Monday failed to proceed after prosecution requested to be allowed time to amend the accused’s charge sheet.
Senior principal magistrate Liz Gicheha allowed the prosecution's application and gave them seven days to make the changes before the trial kicks off.
The prosecution had told the court that they wanted to make slight amendments to merge the date of arrest and that of commission of offense which were faulty.
