Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has come into rescue of politician Cyrus Jirongo by offering Sh 5 million surety in a civil debt that has caused him to spend two night in police cell.
The surety was one of the condition given by the Deputy Registrar Elizabeth Tanui besides a deposit of Sh 5 million.
The CS placed his logo book of Mercedes Benz whose value is over Sh 5 million. Upon satisfying conditions sets by the court, Jirongo left the cells accompanied by CS Wamalwa and Sport CS Rashid Achesa.
Jirongo walked to freedom shortly after 1pm.
The court suspended to commit him to jail, after his lawyer Dan Omari pleaded that his client needed time to file documents to show how settled part of the loan advanced to him by the judgment holder.
The lawyer told the court that even after the warrants were issued on 6 August 2018, Jirongo proceeded to pay Sh 850,000 which is clear indication of commitment to honor the judgment of the court.
The politician was arrested on Monday, after the warrant were issued against him for failing to appear in court to show cause why he should not be send to jail for refusing to settle debt owed to businessman Bryan Yongo.
