A case in which Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama and two others are accused of defrauding a Nakuru businessman of a Sh60 million piece of land kicks off today.

This, after the trial magistrate Victor Wakumile declined an attempt by the defence to have the case adjourned to next year.

The MP and his two co-accused had been acquitted but the High Court overturned the ruling in May.

Justice James Wakiaga of the High Court Anti-Corruption division set aside the lower court’s decision to acquit the MP and his co-accused and instead directed they be put on their defence.
