Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua was Monday charged with acquiring more than Sh7.3 billion suspected to be proceeds of crime.
The MP, who spent the weekend in police cells also denied charges of money laundering and conflict of interest for allegedly awarding close associates contracts through Mathira constituency development fund.
Although the charges stated that he laundered more than Sh7.3 billion, the six charges he denied does not add up to the amount he is alleged to have conspired to receive corruptly.
