According to reports, Chacha engaged in sexual encounters with the politicians and filmed them, which he has been using to blackmail and demand huge sums of money from them. He was reportedly arrested in Tanzania on his way to Congo following intelligence by both the Tanzanian and Kenyan security forces about his fraudulent activities.
When he appeared before the Kenyan court presided over by a senior principal magistrate, Christine Njagi on Tuesday, he was remanded into police custody pending the conclusion of a police investigation regarding the matter. He is also being investigated for fraud and impersonation.
The court further ordered an examination of his mental health at Mathari Mental Hospital after his lawyer, Job Geresa, claimed he was mentally unfit.
The suspect is currently being held in custody at the Kenyan Central Police Station pending the substantive hearing scheduled for April 9.
