An attempt by Murang'a Governor Mwangi wa Iria seeking to stop his arrest and prosecution was yesterday thwarted by the High Court.

The governor, who is among those recommended for prosecution by the Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko, had rushed to the High Court in Nairobi seeking temporary orders but was turned down.
