By JOSEPH WANGUI More by this AuthorA man accused of publishing online false information about Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i's health status has been released by a Nairobi court on bail. Isaac Kibet Yego denied the charge before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi and was given Sh50,000 bail or an alternative of Sh100,000 bond with surety. The magistrate also restrained Yego from making comments on the CS or the case on social media until the case is heard and determined. While urging the court to grant Yego bail, his three lawyers described him as a man of modest means who graduated from Kenyatta University recently and is yet to secure employment. Mr Yego is accused of making the claim, which the CS dismissed, between July 23 and 24 at an unknown place within the country.
