The Government has demanded the removal of the presiding magistrate in the trial of four suspected Al Shabaab brides. It accused Senior Principal Magistrate Simon Rotich of being biased and refusing to allow production of prosecution evidence without his prior scrutiny.
Mr Rotich is presiding over the trial of Kenyans Maryam Said Aboud, Khadija Abdulkadir Abubakar, Halima Adan Ali and Ummul Khayr Sadir Abdalla from Zanzibar. The suspects referred to as ‘jihadi brides’ were accused of having links with Al Shabaab.
