Deputy President-elect Rigathi Gachagua and Nyeri Governor-elect Mutahi Kahiga do not have to testify in an inquest on the 2017 death of former governor Wahome Gakuru, the High Court in Nyeri has ruled.
Justice Florence Muchemi yesterday ruled that the testimony of Gachagua and Kahiga would not serve any purpose at the inquest.
"I have briefly looked at the statement of the two applicants and have found they have no property value. The summoning of the applicant to testify in court will not serve any purpose in my considered view," Muchemi observed.
