On Tuesday when the matter came up in court, Kang'ethe told Milimani chief magistrate Lucas Onyina he had been tortured and had marks on his hands and body. The case was coming up for directions on hearing his bond, pending the extradition proceedings, but his lawyers were missing. "I do not wish to continue with bond/bail arguments for now without legal representation," Kang'ethe said. I wonder why the agency involved in the investigations against me should be the ones offering me legal representation," Kang'ethe said. The prosecution had argued that the issues of torture ought to have been raised by Kang'ethe's lawyers who were not in court.
