A Mombasa court on Thursday acquitted Kilifi Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi of willfully exposing himself in public while suffering from coronavirus without taking proper precaution contrary to Section 28(a) of the public health Act.
Mombasa Chief Magistrate Edna Nyaloti in her ruling said that at the time Mr Saburi was being charged with contravening the public health Act, Covid-19 had not been declared an infectious disease.
Mr Saburi had been arrested and arraigned on April 3rd for allegedly committing the offence between March 6th and 22nd within Kilifi County.
