Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria will plead to assault charges on Tuesday after the court dismissed his application to defer plea-taking until a related matter is heard in a separate court. Kuria's request to defer plea-taking was to allow him time to get advice from his lawyers, a matter the prosecution objected. “We ask this court to defer plea-taking as this matter touches on issues of abuse of criminal process and defying of court orders,” Khaminwa said. Kuria was released from the Kilimani police cells onst Saturday at 7pm after he deposited Sh20,000 to secure his freedom. While in court, Kuria claimed to have received threats from the Kilimani Division OCPD after his arrest.
