The High Court in Kerugoya will next week determine if Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru was validly elected after the closure of a lengthy hearing of a petition lodged by her rival Martha Karua.
The parties have finished arguing their case and Justice Lucy Gitari is now expected to make her determination. On Thursday, lawyers defending Waiguru submitted that the petition should fail given that Karua’s co-petitioner and running mate Gachoki Gitari did not appear in court to testify yet his evidence was crucial.
