Kinoti walking to Central Police station,Nairobi on Tuesday |
A Councillor in
Nairobi representing a ward called Zimmerman Mr Gerald Kinoti may soon face a
legal suit in court after failing to pay Shs 120 000 he owes a contractor in
Nairobi Mr.Simon Wainaina.
Kinoti(r,Wainaina (l) and Police officers when Kinoti was arrested by the two Police Officers |
Kinoti who was
given the sum of money to facilitate the contract of construction of staff toilets
at Githurai Primary school in his ward in February this year according to
Wainanina has failed to honour the contact and failed to refund the money after
it emerged that their was no contract of toilet construction.
Wainaina was
forced to record the matter at the Central Police station which was booked as OB/51
5/9/12 by the Police and was on Tuesday, September 11 arrested by Police from
the station and pleaded with them not to book him in cells as he was going to
pay Wainanina his money the following day (Wednesday, September 12).
Come Wednesday,
the Councillor who also doubles up as a Church elder of PCEA Church in
Zimmerman refused to pick Wainaina`s calls and when called by our reporter he
said he was not aware of the matter.
Wainanina has
confided to us that he has instructed his lawyer to file a case at the Nairobi
court probably on Thursday, September 13.
It is our hope
that the Councillor who is supposed to lead by example pays Wainaina his money
and stop behaving in a manner likely to injure his reputation in the society as
in the new Constitution which was promulgated in Kenya in 2010 leaders are
elected on the basis of their integrity.
