3 Chinese in Madaraka Express tickets scam denied bond
Three Chinese linked to the ticketing scandal that has rocked Madaraka Express, and charged with giving a Sh900,000 bribe to influence investigations will stay in police cells longer.
A Mombasa court on Friday denied Mr Li Gen, Mr Li Xiaowu and Mr Sun Xin bond and ordered them locked up.
SH500,000 BRIBE
Mombasa Chief Magistrate Julius Nangea said the prosecution had given compelling reasons to stop their release.
Without demonstrating that the accused have a reasonable fixed abode, the magistrate noted, it would be difficult to guarantee that they will attend court when freed on bond.
The magistrate said despite the court being told by the defence that the accused, who are employees of China Roads and Bridges Corporation (CRBC), reside at the SGR terminus in Mombasa, no evidence was produced.
