Eldoret Chief Magistrate Charles Obulutsa has rejected an application to disqualify himself from hearing politician Jackson Kibor's divorce case. Mr Kibor's estranged wife Josephine Jepkoech, through her lawyer, Amos Magut, had accused the magistrate of bias.
Kibor, 83, wants his marriage to Ms Jepkoech, 68, dissolved citing cruelty, desertion and denial of conjugal rights. Jepkoech has denied the claims, saying their union was blissful. The couple has been married for 52 years.
