The case of Nairobi’s Umoja Two Ward Member of County Assembly – MCA Joseph Ndonji, who was charged with assaulting a pastor in a fit of rage, will be mentioned on September 30.
Ndonji was charged before Makadara Senior Principal Magistrate Stephen Jalang’o on June 17 for assault. He denied the charge.
The prosecution stated that Ndonji and others not before the court attacked Jared Aru-wa by kicking and punching him, occasioning him grievous bodily harm.
His attack allegedly took place on May 30, 2019 at Kwa Miti along Manyanja Road in Tena Estate. The prosecution said Aruwa was walking to a hardware shop along Manyanja Road when Ndonji called out his name from his car and asked him over where the MCA demanded to know why he was destroying electric poles that he had put up.
Aruwa maintains that he never vandalised the electric poles.
He said Ndonji grabbed him by the shoulders and started to kick him, and forced him to stand while shaking him and forced him to admit that he was behind the destruction of the poles.
