Migori Governor Okoth Obado has been held at the Industrial Area remand awaiting ruling on a case he has been charged with.
Earlier reports had indicated that Migori Governor Okoth Obado was receiving special (VIP) treatment at the Industrial Area remand, claims which were later rubbished.
Prisons boss Isaya Osugo said the county chief has the same accommodation, clothing, feeding, and visit arrangements like any other inmate.
Obado was denied bail in the murder case involving Rongo University student Sharon Otieno. He will be at the facility until October 8.
He has denied murdering Sharon, a case emanating from the student’s abduction and subsequent murder on September 4.
