Kidero’s lawyers started off by raising several complaints to the magistrate, saying their client had been harassed through the unnecessary delays in arraigning him in court.

The prosecutor caused a light moment when he said that the former Governor was “well-fed and allowed a lot of sleep”.

Kidero, who was seated in the dock smiled broadly as the rest of the courtroom burst out in laughter.
