The criminal case facing former Nairobi Mayor George Aladwa has stalled after the trial magistrate Daniel Ogembo failed to show up.
The ruling on whether he has a case to answer or not over hate speech remarks was to take place on Tuesday.
Aladwa is accused of uttering words indicating that some people would have to die for Cord leader Raila Odinga to be president.
He was arrested by Flying Squad officers on October 23, 2015 but was later released on Sh3 million bonds.
“I have been denied justice despite attending court on several occasions whenever the matter is listed for hearing or mention,” said Aladwa.
Through his lawyer John Khaminwa, Aladwa said the charge sheet contains a police rubber stamp yet they were not allowed to prosecute.
His supporters who were at the court spent over six hours along the corridors awaiting the ruling of the magistrate.
On hearing the matter had been postponed they protested and marched from Milimani Law Courts to the Central Business District saying the court should speed up the hearing and determination of the case to allow Aladwa to concentrate on his political activities.
