Former Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Gladys Shollei has denied irregularly buying a house for the Chief Justice. Shollei yesterday appeared in the Milimani courts in Nairobi to answer abuse of office charges but claimed she was a victim of political persecution.

She presented herself before the Anti-Corruption Court and denied four counts relating to the controversial acquisition of the official residence of the Chief Justice.

Shollei was charged with improperly conferring a Sh310 million benefit to Johnson Muthama Holdings Limited, the company from which the palatial house in Nairobi’s upmarket Runda was bought.

Her co-accused, Kakai Kissinger, Martin Okwatta, Benedict Omollo, Wycliffe Wanga, Thomas Atak and Nicholas Mbeba pleaded to similar charges on August 5.

The former registrar was released on a Sh600,000 cash bail requiring her to attend trial whose dates will be fixed on September 7. “I am in court because of politics. I am in court because I stepped on some toes and some people are determined to fix me.

I have also heard rumours that I am being persecuted because of perceptions that I have political interests,” said Shollei said after depositing bail.
