State House Secretary of Digital Innovations and Diaspora Communications Dennis Itumbi was released on Wednesday on Sh100,000 cash bail.
Senior Resident Magistrate Zainabu Abdul sitting in Milimani Law Court released Itumbi who was being held in relation with the alleged fake letter at the centre of claims there was a plot to assassinate Deputy President William Ruto.
The court however directed that he should be reporting to the investigating officer at Muthaiga police station once a week for the next fourteen days.
Releasing Itumbi, Abdul noted that the court has not been shown any progress in the investigations on the 256 WhatsApp group members who Itumbi shared with the alleged letter.
“The court has not been told how many statements have been recorded from 256 members of Tanga Tanga group who are spread across the Country,” the magistrate noted as quoted by Capital FM.
Itumbi has been in custody from last week on Thursday.
The Prosecution had asked the court to detain him for another nine days as they question the 256 members of a WhatsApp group known as Tangatanga, that Itumbi shared with the alleged letter.
His lawyers, however, opposed the application.
