[David Njaaga,Standard]Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke has been released on a cash bail of Sh10 million pending appeal of his jail sentence in a multimillion-shilling corruption case. On the other hand, his co-accused, Grace Wakhungu has been released on a cash bail of Sh20 million pending determination of her appeal. The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has opposed the release of Waluke and Wakhungu on bail saying the two have not proven too ill to be taken care of in prison. Erad had been in a long-running battle with NCPB over a botched maize supply saga. In 2003, NCPB floated 180,000 tonnes of maize supply tender.
