(NDIMA/IFEX) – Two Nairobi journalists who are facing charges of producing a
news publication without executing a publishers’ bond were denied bail on 10
September 1998 and remanded in custody until 16 September.
George Nakhosi Wamalwa and Tom Oscar Alwaka first appeared before a
magistrate on 9 July 1998. They denied irregularly publishing the “Kenya
Despatch” between 7-13 September 1998.
Opposing bail, Prosecutor Johnson Githitu told the court that although the
offence was bailable, investigations had not been completed. He added that
the investigating officer was yet to visit the registrar-general’s office.
Githitu told the court that more serious charges may be preferred against
the pair.
