If their is one man who has gone in record for making MPs fall for his treachery is Waziri Benson Chacha .
Benson Chacha, the man accused of conning legislators using Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege’s name to seek for forgiveness have hit a dead end.
It emerged on Wednesday that the man had asked the court to give him time to have the criminal case pressed against him dropped, but it seems it did not work as the matter was listed for hearing.
City Court Chief Magistrate Roseline Oganyo observed that Chacha was charged last year March after which the case was put to a halt for him to reconcile with his accusers but nothing came out of it.
The State on Wednesday told the court that it was ready to front its witnesses against the man who include former MPs Jakoyo Midiwo, Cecilia Ngetich and Sabina.However, Sabina’s lawyer George Wajakoya asked the court to adjourn the case as she had just appointed him to represent her in the case.
He said he wanted to acquaint himself with the statements filed in court.
“Your honor, I pray that this court allows for an adjournment for the reason that I have just been instructed and I need to prepare to represent the complainant,” said Wajakoya.
The magistrate agreed with him saying that victims of crime have a right to be represented in a case hence pushed the hearing to October this year. “This court recognizes the role of victim’s advocate in proceedings.
A victim has a right to appear in person or be represented by counsel. Prof. Wajakoya says he has just been appointed and needs to go through documents. A victim has a right to know what the case is,” ruled Oganyo.
