Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has resumed duties at his main office in Kitale following the end of a two-month court-ordered restriction.
The ban stemmed from a court ruling on May 20, when Natembeya was released on a Sh1 million bond or a Sh500,000 cash bail in connection with corruption charges, which he has denied. As part of the bail conditions, he was prohibited from accessing his office for 60 days.
