Court: Kilifi Deputy Governor will not be detained at Manyani prisons

Kilifi Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi at a Mombasa court on Monday.

It was a reprieve for Kilifi Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi after a Mombasa court dismissed an application requesting to detain him at Manyani Prisons.

“This court does not have any medical documents in relation to the respondent (Saburi) upon which this court can rely on and order that he be taken to isolation,” Senior Resident Magistrate Rita Amwayi ruled, adding that the Public Health Act was categorical on steps to be taken before an order for isolation is granted.
