Thursday, October 24, 2024 –President William Ruto’s lawyer Kamotho Njenga has dropped out of the case citing unconstitional move by the president.
The lawyer who was among those assigned by the Statehouse, on Thursday, announced exit from the matter while making reference to the previous Supreme Court judgements that the Head of State cannot move a matter of Constitutional weight.
“My Lord with your kind permission, I wish to bring to the attention of the court that we shall no longer be action for the sixth respondent in this matter and, to that effect, we have filed a notice to cease acting on account of the Supreme court decision that determined that the president cannot be subject to civil proceedings,”
“So in that regard, we will not be able to act contrary to an express court order and we have therefore filed a notice to cease acting and we ask the court to deem that to be a sufficient notice that the person named as the sixth person is now not represented in these proceedings, noted Ruto’s lawyer Kamotho Njenga.
The Head of State, through his lawyers, had protested the decision by the High Court to hear the case on the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua. Ruto, in his petition, argued that the High Court had no power to hear such a case and that the matter was deemed to be heard by the Supreme Court.
