Politician and businessman Philip Aroko presented himself at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) court at 3 pm.
This followed a dramatic experience, which followed pressure from Aroko’s legal representatives, who demanded answers about his whereabouts after he had been reportedly held incommunicado since his arrest.
According to the prosecution, Aroko has emerged as a central suspect as the investigators believe he had a financial role in the planning of the assassination.
Regarding the matter, investigators are now analysing financial transactions believed to have originated from Aroko, allegedly used to fund the crime.
The authorities noted that several locations where key meetings were held have yet to be documented.
Multiple witnesses are still being traced and interviewed.
The prosecution now sought thirty days of custodial detention to complete investigations and ensure witness protection.
In response, Aroko cited personal and family health concerns and pleaded for a change in remand location.
“I was at Kasarani police station, away from my wife, who is also sickly. I pray I be remanded at Kileleshwa where my wife and family are”, he said.
The court responded by giving him a seven-day custodial order at Kilelehswa police station based on his argument.
