Photo: Kelvin KaraniNairobi Senator Gideon Mbuvi Sonko Monday paid a court in Mombasa County Sh200,000 following the disappearance of separatist leader Omar Mwamnuadzi. But since then, the State has slapped many new charges against Mwamnuadzi and other MRC leaders in Kwale and Mombasa. Two months ago, the State applied to seize the surety and for the trial to proceed in the MRC leader's absence. Sonko had appeared in court several times after being summoned to show cause why he should not forfeit the surety.
