16 suspects have been charged for stealing alcohol worth Ksh78 million from Timba XO, a club in Eldoret, during the anti-Finance Bill protests.
The 16 suspects were presented before the Eldoret High Court and accused of breaking into the establishment that is associated with Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi.
The High court was told that the suspects also damaged Ksh80 million worth of property at the club.
During the countrywide protests held on Tuesday, June 25, youths raided the club in retaliation to the MP who had been in support of the contentious Finance Bill 2024.
Additionally, part of the club was set ablaze and vandalised with classes shattered.

On July 1, Sudi announced that he was taking a sabbatical leave from public engagements and development activities. According to him, his participation in public engagements and harambees would easily be used against him by Kenyans.
Additionally, he revealed that he was considering quitting politics, noting that it has taken most of his attention at the expense of his personal life.
“Going forward, I’ll not participate in any Harambee because it has been used to malign and disparage the good course, let it be banned,
“Thus, the current happenings in the country call for introspection and consequently, I’m taking a sabbatical leave from public engagements,
“If God allows me to change my mind, because I am even thinking of quitting politics, I am doing much more in politics than what I am doing for myself. I am taking a one- or two-year leave, but if God allows me,” he said.
