Justice Thropsisa Cherere dismissed the petition by the Kikuyu MP citing lack of evidence as to how the case will cause him irreparable harm.
Consequently, the judge noted that if Kimani Ichun’wah’s appeal is successful, then a proper ruling will be issued without interfering with the ongoing court case.
Lawyer Danstan Omari has obtained court orders blocking the legislator from publishing any damaging story about him until when the case is heard and determined.
“The stay of proceedings is a lazy attempt by the appellant to evade accountability. Even the trial court acknowledged that our suit in Civil Case E1841 of 2023 has a high probability of success,” said Omari
