Incitement case against Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara will proceed.
This follows a move by Court in Nairobi to dismiss an application MP Kihara seeking to quash criminal charges filed against her by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The court ruled that the DPP acted within the law in instituting the charges, paving the way for the MP to face trial.
While appearing at the Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday, Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi ordered that she take a plea on the charge of offensive conduct.
Kihara had last week filed an application through her Lawyers not to take plea.
Kihara who addressed press after the ruling, termed the prosecution against her as political.
”This is a political prosecution. I do not know who I incited, as I was addressing the press. I was also part of the convoy that was targeted on Sunday. If talking on important issues is what is termed incitement, then I have no alternative but to continue speaking on such issues,” she stated.
