NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 25 – Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama will spend another night in jail after his bail ruling was pushed to Tuesday afternoon.

Arama denied seven corruption-related charges when he appeared before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti and will be held at the Kilimani Police Station.
The charges include conspiracy to defraud, uttering a false document, obtaining by false pretences and misleading detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
