A warrant of arrest has been issued against the MP for Nandi Hills Alfred Keter.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi issued the warrant on Thursday morning after he failed to appear in court as required.
The case in question involves the forgery of Ksh633 million Treasury Bond.
Keter's case had come up for a pre-trial hearing in order to confirm whether the evidence sourced by the prosecution was also offered to the defence.
So far, the prosecution has lined up 16 exhibits and 13 witnesses in a bid to prove the charges against Keter.
The pre-trial hearing (initially planned for Thursday) has, however, been pushed to February 14 pending the arrest of the MP and further directions from the court.
The others charged with Keter for the alleged forgery are businessmen Madat Saburali and Arthur Sakwa.
The two are co-directors of Desai Industries. All of the accused have been out after posting a bail of Ksh2 Million each.
UPDATE
4:45pm: Court Withdraws the Arrest Warrant for Keter
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi lifted the warrant he had earlier issued.
Keter's lawyer presented himself in the court soon as the warrant was issued and blamed himself for Keter having not appeared for the mention.
He indicated that he had misrecorded the date of the mention of the case, which brought about a sense of confusion.
