A Magistrates Court sitting in Nairobi has adjourned the hearing of incitement to violence case against former Machakos senator Johnson Muthama.
Milimani chief magistrate Francis Andayi adjourned the hearing to May 3, 2018.
The adjournment was granted following an application by Muthama’s lawyer John Khaminwa who told the court that his client was engaged in official and important function and could not attend the hearing.
Muthama is charged alongside activist Japheth Muroko with incitement to violence.
The two are charged with allegedly making inflammatory remarks on September 23, 2015 at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.
The prosecution says that it has witnesses and is ready to continue with the hearing.
Muthama and Muroko had denied the incitement to violence charge and are out on Sh100, 000 cash bail each.
