He said, all things considered, the case is planned for hearing on November 18.
“We went to court and the case was planned for hearing this month on 18. Is there a warrant I am not mindful of? I’m not mindful to be straightforward,” he said.
He added he is prepared to help out specialists to figure out the issue assuming any.
Ali said he knows about the case and that he stood the guarantee well before he turned into a MP.
He said the suspect had been captured over an alternate matter of ownership of maryjane and he stood guarantee of Sh50,000.
At the point when the matter came ready for hearing, agreeing Ali, the court permitted him to search for the suspect and present him on November 18.
“I don’t have the foggiest idea how it changed on the grounds that the last time I attempted to pull out the guarantee they rejected and demanded I bring him. So we should return to court,” he added.
“NOT AWARE”
On Tuesday, Ali said he was not aware of the said warrant.
He said as far as he was concerned, the case is scheduled for hearing on November 18.
“We went to court and the case was scheduled for hearing this month on 18. Is there a warrant I am not aware of? I am not aware to be honest,” he said.

Ali said he is aware of the case and that he stood the surety long before he became an MP.
He said the suspect had been arrested over a different matter of possession of marijuana and he stood surety of Sh50,000.
When the matter came up for hearing, according Ali, the court allowed him to look for the suspect and present him on November 18.
“I don’t know how it changed because the last time I tried to withdraw the surety they refused and insisted I bring him. So we are supposed to go back to court,” he added.
