A building at the Bomet Law Courts was, on Tuesday night, set on fire by unknown people.
Reportedly, the building housed crucial case files used during proceedings, leaving several people who had arrived for their court hearings to be left stranded.
Speaking at the court's grounds, the Chief Magistrate Esther Booke claimed that the arsonists had also tried to torch the magistrate's chambers. "We went round and discovered that there was also an attempt to burn the magistrates' chambers.
Something had been poured around the court 3 chambers because it is the first one," she relayed.
