A Kisii based opposition blogger received a major boost in her case against the state following the entry of Raila Odinga’s lead lawyers in her case.
Olivia Moraira alias Kabz Nyar Kisii was released on bail on Monday after paying Sh200, 000 at Milimani law courts which were mainly raised by online community.
And her case will now be taken by former LSK Chief Executive Apollo Mboya and lawyer Nelson Havi who have pledged to offer pro bono.
“Oliviah, who was arrested in Kisii was released o bond thanks to online community and contributors,” wrote Mr. Havi on his twitter.
He added:”Counsel Apollo Mboya and I will lead the defense team on 18th September.”
She was arrested in a Kisii Hotel by suspected Flying squad officers a fortnight ago and driven to Nairobi under tight security.
Although her charge sheet has not been made public by the magistrate in charge, it is believed that she directly attacked President Uhuru Kenyatta on her Facebook page, not once though.
A week after her apprehension, she was released following the intervention by Kisii Women Representative Janet Ong’era but only to be rearrested a week later.
