Ex-Mungiki leader Maina Njenga’s lawyer Ndegwa Njiru on Sunday, October 15 refuted claims that Brian Mwenda appeared at Makadara Law Courts during the arraignment of his client.
In a statement on X, Ndegwa stated that the alleged imposter lawyer had no instructions to either appear or represent Maina Njenga.
“I have seen from the media reports that Mr. Mwenda the questionable lawyer appeared at Makadara Law Courts during the arraignment of my client Mr. Maina Njenga,” Ndegwa wrote.
“I thus wish to confirm that the said individual had no instructions to appear and/or purport to represent Mr. Maina,” he added.
Further, the lawyer while addressing supporters of Brian Mwenda, whom he labelled a ‘quack lawyer’ said he would be charged with false pretense for the 26 cases he claims to have won.
