KOT have today applauded Judge Jessie Lessit after her ruling that Governor Obado be detained until October 8, 2018. In her ruling, Justice Lessit mentioned that the court could not determine his bail application before all the witness statements are in court. Obado has been in police custody since Friday and he will remain behind bars until the next hearing of the case which will be on the 8th of October.
Well done Judge Jessie Lessit, Okoth Obado justice is served.
