The High Court has issued orders stopping the prosecution of the Thika Chief Magistrate accused of engaging in corruption.
In yet another twist in the case, the High Court made the decision after considering a petition by the magistrate's lawyers challenging the legality of the corruption case against her.
The magistrate's lawyers, led by Danstan Omari and Shadrach Wamboi, sought an injunction arguing that the two cases against the magistrate are fundamentally distinct. "We plead with the court to consider granting the orders because the reliefs sought in the two courts are as different as day and night," Wamboi told High Court Judge Chacha Mwita.
