The High Court in Nairobi has barred the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the police and the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) from arresting or charging a gynaecologist in a row over the colour of a surrogate child.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye ordered that the DCI should not charge Dr.
Sarita Sukhija or any of the employees of Myra In Vitro Fertilisation Clinic in Westlands, Nairobi. "A conservatory order be and is hereby issued restraining the third, fourth and fifth respondents, jointly and severally, and whether directly or through their employees, servants, agents, or related entities from summoning, arresting, detaining, charging or causing the charging of, prosecuting or causing or continuing the prosecution of the Petitioner or any of the petitioner's employees, servants, agents, associates, or such other person in relation to any matter touching on a complaint by the first and second respondents or with regard to any matter that is the subject of the Petition herein," ruled Justice Mwamuye.
At the same time, the judge directed that the DCI should not summon Dr.
