Mr Saburi has denied a charge of wilfully exposing himself in public while suffering from the Covid-19 disease and without taking precautions contrary to the Public Health Act. Through lawyers George Kithi and Clifford Tollo on Thursday, he opposed DPP Noordin Haji's application and instead asked a Mombasa court to release him on cash bail. Mr Saburi told the court that he would comply with conditions for his release as he understood the consequences of disobeying them. “The mere fact that there are investigations to be covered has never been a reason to deny bail,” Mr Kithi also said. “There is no evidence my client is in danger,” Mr Kithi said, adding the offence was bailable.
