Migori governor Okoth Obado has filed a fresh petition for review of his bail application, saying he needs special medical attention. Obado has been charged with the murder of his pregnant lover Sharon Otieno and has been in remand since September 21. Two days later, justice Jessie Lessit disallowed his application, saying the prosecution had not supplied all the witness statements and evidence. Obdao said parties were supplied with the bundles on October 3, and that he was at liberty to make a fresh bail application. The governor said it was not permissible for the prosecution or the victims to punish him through denial of bail.
