Suspect turns into state witness in MP Ong'ondo Were murder case

The court was informed that the late MP's bodyguard, Allan Omondi Ogola, will be the first to testify when the trial begins on February 9 at 8:00 a.m., with five witnesses expected to take the stand on the opening day.

Trial judge Diana Kavedza directed defence lawyer Chacha Mwita, together with his client, to properly organise photographic evidence, including images allegedly showing bullet holes on vehicles, noting that this would help expedite the trial.

Justice Kavedza also urged Mwita to thoroughly review the evidence with his witness ahead of the hearing to ensure the proceedings run smoothly.

The late MP was gunned down by unknown assailants on April 30, 2025 at the City Mortuary roundabout along Ngong' road.

He was attacked by two assailants riding a motorbike. One of the gunmen reportedly alighted from the motorbike and opened fire at close range, fatally wounding the MP.
