By MN Reporter

The High Court has ordered Migori Governor Okoth Obado to give a Sh8.7 million cash bail or Sh20 million bond and not access his office.

Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi on Monday issued the bail terms and instructed that Obado be escorted with police to his office to pick his personal belonging.

He was also ordered to be given his identification cards, but barred with his family and other co-accused of leaving the country.

Obado and his children were ordered to deposit their passports in court.

Obado was on Friday arraigned alongside his children and seven others to answer charges of graft over loss of Sh73.4 million.
