The International Commission of Jurists, ICJ Kenya, has been enjoined in Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu’s criminal case.
However, a five judge bench led by Justice Hellen Omondi dismissed a similar application made by the Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya, FIDA and lawyer Adrian Njenga Kamotho.
The hearing of the case against Mwilu has been scheduled for 26-28th March.
The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji and Attorney General Kihara Kariuki in their separate submissions before the High Court on Monday cited bias and parties wanting to clog the case without helping the court to determine the case.
Noordin’s case was argued by senior prosecutors Dorcas Oduor and Alexander Muteti. Women lawyers lobby, Federation of Women lawyers of Jurists and a lobbyist lawyer Adrian Kamotho in their separate applications argued that they had a stake in the case.
