Two petitioners have brought a case before the court seeking to have President William Ruto jailed for contempt of court.
The petitioners, represented by Senior Counsel Paul Muite, filed a petition seeking legal action against the President, Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, and the Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, over the gazettement of appointments to the Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission, despite court orders barring the process.
Contempt of court, by definition, refers to any act or conduct that obstructs, interferes with, or undermines the authority, dignity, and proper administration of justice by a court of law.
Essentially, it is showing disobedience or disrespect towards a court, its officers, or its processes.
