that, Barasa fell sick on the eve of plea taking

and has been admitted in one of the City

suspect earlier and confirmed that the

suspect health condition was stable and even

went ahead to prepare the charges.

Detective Peter Orwa at Nairobi Hotel on

allegation that he was unlawfully being in

possession of County Confidential documents

through a miscellaneous application requesting

for more days to complete preliminary

investigations.
