Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua has been granted a cash bail of Sh12 million with an alternative Sh25 million bond in a case in which he faces among others, graft charges.

Chief Lawrence Mugambi on Monday ordered the accused to deposit his passport with the court and not to contact or interfere with witnesses.

Rigathi is to be detained within court precincts until 5pm, when he is expected to have processed his bail.

A team of 10 lawyers are representing Gachagua in the case in which he faces six counts, including conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption, fraudulent acquisition of property and money laundering.

Rigathi was arrested on Friday and spent the weekend in the cells.

He was picked up by DCI officers in the morning and driven to Nairobi.
