A Nakuru Court has ordered the arrest of Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii and his former Deputy Governor John Barorot.
The arrest order comes after the two failed to appear in court to testify in the Ksh1 billion Finland education scholarship scandal.
Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ndege ordered the arrest of five people including the two who had been bonded by the prosecution to appear in court but failed. The three others include Hillary Ruto, Stephen Lel and Edwin Lel.
The court further issued summons for two witnesses including Mercy Tarus and Dr Joel Koech. Tarus, who is the popular witness in the case, has been asked to appear before the court on September 11, 2024.
