Magistrate dismisses call to quit Jackson Kibor's divorce case

Jackson Kibor

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.
