High Court Justice Jairus Ngaah set aside the gag order on Monday following a petition filed by the Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ).

“That the ex-parte application be and hereby granted leave to apply an order of certiorari to bring into this court, and quash the gag orders of the resident Magistrate, Milimani children’s court issued on July 13th, 2021 barring the media houses from accessing and commenting on the matters pertaining to civil case number E672 of 2021 against IWM and Hon Kenneth Lusaka,” judge Ngaah ordered on Monday.

The order had been issued by Resident Magistrate F. Terer of Milimani law courts following an application filed by lawyer Danstan Omari, who is representing a woman who sued Lusaka demanding Sh25 million in support for her unborn child.

Lusaka admitted to siring the applicant’s unborn child and agreed to cater to the baby’s pre-natal care and settle other issues once the infant is born.

The woman filed the case in June demanding child support of Sh200,000 monthly or a lump sum of Sh25 million from Lusaka. She also wanted Lusaka to buy her a house matching the standard of where his other children live.

    Yes, let’s get all the juice gossip of these zipperless politicians! Do the same to Ruto, Linturi, etc!

    This way is the only way the politicians will start treating Kenyans with decency and regard! You shouldn’t Mount on another woman if you don’t want us to know about it!

    Sleece bug! You would think he would use a condom to protect his partner and himself for a temporary relief! HIV is still well and alive!

    @ Naomi, you comment makes sense if that's what he did. But there is also a posibility that he made sure that she was"clean". Mind you that this goes for her as well.We have to amuse that both love their lives...
    To me the bigger picture is what concerns me most.The child in question.We are talking about an innocent child who did not ask to be created.The two adults have to step up and raise the child to the best of their ability,and mostly give the child love and opportunity to have a short at good life. In today's world other than rape,all unwanted pregnancies could be avoided.
