Embattled Samburu Governor Moses Kasaine Lenolkulal has finally been set free after paying Sh10 million cash bail.
Lenolkulal was freed on Thursday afternoon after his lawyer Paul Nyamodi managed to process the Sh10 million bail imposed on him.
The Samburu governor spent Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the Industrial Area prison after he was slapped with Sh100 million bail by Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti.
The governor had pleaded not guilty to charges of abuse of office, illegal acquisition of public property, conflict of interest and conspiring to defraud the county government Sh84 million in fuel fraud.
The Governor, however, moved to the High Court to have his cash bail reviewed terming the Sh100 million bail as outrageous, ridiculous and unconstitutional.
On Wednesday, High Court Judge Mumbi Ngugi lowered the Governor's bail from Sh100 million to Sh10 million.
The Judge, however, retained other conditions set by the Magistrate Court.
Speaking to journalists at Milimani Law Courts shortly after his release, Lenolkulal accused the government of dramatising the war on graft.
He said the war on graft cannot be won through the media.
