“Felix Mambo on diverse dates at unknown places within the Republic of Kenya you with the intent to cause panic, chaos or violence among citizens of the Republic of Kenya jointly with others not before court published in social media to wit “Only Wavinya and her son can substantiate bro. Mimi na wewe tuko kathangaita wao wanakula raha UK,” a fact you knew to be false.” The charge sheet read.
Mambo was released with a cash bail of 200,000 or a bond of 300,000. The case is set to be mentioned on 18th November 2024.
Last week, Machakos Deputy Governor Francis Mwangangi accused Mavoko MP and his aides of being behind propaganda to taint Governor Wavinya’s image.
“This kind of smear campaign is not only unethical, but it’s also disrespectful. Wavinya is family, and this is how Makau treats her?, “If he continues like this, he will lose any chance of becoming governor.” Mwangangi said.
