Martha Karua's Case against Election of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru Takes a Fresh Twist

Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua's case against the election of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has taken a fresh twist after the Appeals Court issued new orders. In a ruling on Friday, the Appeal Court in Nairobi directed that the petition against Waiguru's victory as the Governor of Kirinyaga be heard afresh.
In the ruling, Appellate judges Mohammed Warsame, Daniel Musinga and William Ouko faulted the decision by the High Court to uphold Waiguru’s election, noting that Karua was not accorded justice and that the petition was struck out without a fair hearing.
The second highest court in the land further set aside the Sh10 million costs slapped on Karua and decried the emerging practice of punitive costs on losing petitioners.
The ruling comes after Karua moved to the Appellate court to challenge the High Court decision that upheld Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru’s win.
Through lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, Karua had based his petition on the Supreme Court's ruling that nullified the August 8th,2017 presidential election, arguing that all the other elections were also not valid. She filed the appeal after Kerugoya High Court judge Justice Lucy Gitari dismissed her petition terming it as “defective and incurable.”
Governor Waiguru has indicated she will contest the Court of Appeal's decision at the Supreme Court.

The entire election of August 08, 2017 was a joke after Chris Msando was killed and the entire electoral process compromised.

Pole sana Imara if you did/do not know Msando was killed by muuaji Raila for declining to corporate with Akombe to rig elections for him(muchawi Raila).But i hope you know that the two Kirinyaga political rivals are most corrupt women.They are adulters chasing two men from the same village-one is a senior bachelor called Wamugunda for Wangari.Wangari's husband,Prof Njoka died from depression for his wife's adulterous way of life.The other one is a married man called Muigai who has been moving with Mumbi to all the government departments he is appointed starting with TOURISM BOARD to president of Kenya.

@Upuuzi. Thank you for your detailed comment. Anytime some one calls Raila Muuaji, I always remind them to include other Raila's associates in the killing of innocent Kenyans in the past. His (Raila) other associates are Uhuru, Ruto, and Toroitich.
Upuuzi, there were so many irregularities in the past election that we can conclude that the entire process is NULL and VOID!
