By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorFormer Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and 15 other persons will plead afresh to graft charges after a magistrate declined to consolidate two files which the prosecution claimed related to the same transaction. Mr Aduma has denied charges of corruptly authorising payment of Sh10 million to law firm Wachira Mburu, Mwangi & Company Advocates. Dr Kidero argued that he was not serving as Governor in 2011 when the alleged money was wired to the law firm. All the suspects had denied charges relating to the loss of Sh68 million at City Hall. Other than conspiring to defraud Nairobi County of Sh58 million, Dr Kidero had denied receiving Sh14.4 million from Mr Kariuki.
