Sirisia MP John Waluke has been granted Sh10 million cash bail, while his co-accused in the Sh313 million NCPB scandal Grace Wakhungu has been granted Sh20 million bail pending hearing of their appeal. Onyiego said, "I'm persuaded that applicants (Waluke and Wakhungu) have an arguable appeal." Waluke and Wakhungu were convicted of fraud involving Sh313 million in shady maize dealings with the National Cereal and Produce Board. "I'm not convinced that Waluke being aged 59 is sufficient grounds to grant bail. "There is no dispute she is aged 80 and going with Covid-19 guidleines, her age is an exceptional circumstance to grant her bail," Onyiego said.
