The budget was passed on September 23.PHOTO: COURTESYMakueni County Assembly Majority Leader Francis Mutuku ordered his bodyguard to shoot area governor in an incident in 2014, a court has heard. Governor Kivutha Kibwana, who was testifying in a case where Mutuku and four APs have been charged with injuring six people after a controversial budget was passed, said as soon as the order was given, gun shots rent the air. The APs included John Muthoka and Francis Daido who are attached to the county assembly Speaker and Mr Mutuku respectively. Prof Kibwana yesterday told court he heard Mutuku say; "The small man is there, shoot him', after which he said gun shots rent the air as people fled. Kibwana told court area leaders had held a meeting in Mombasa on the controversial budget before the confrontation, adding the attack was politically motivated.
