Former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal has asserted his innocence in a case involving Sh 83.3 million in alleged graft.
During his mitigation plea, Lenolkulal requested a non-custodial sentence, arguing that as a first-time offender and the sole provider for his family, a lenient sentence would be more appropriate.
He emphasized his belief in his innocence and claimed that his prosecution is politically motivated.
Lenolkulal also asked the court to avoid imposing a ban on his eligibility for future political office, suggesting that such a disqualification would be unjust.
Additionally, he requested that if a fine is imposed, it should be payable in installments due to the current challenging economic conditions.
