Charles Kerich, the Nairobi County Finance CEC, has been sentenced to three months in jail after the High Court found him in contempt of court. The ruling was delivered at the Milimani High Court by Justice Francis Gikonyo. The court further ordered that the committal be executed by the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) of the Central Police Station Nairobi. The decision marks a major legal setback for Kerich and is expected to raise serious questions over his continued stay in office, given the implications of a custodial sentence.
