A former judge has lost his claim for Sh2.5 million legal fees from a lawyer he helped in handling an election petition in 2017.

Court of Appeal Judges Roseline Nambuye, Gatembu Kairu and Sankale ole Kantai ruled that former High Court Judge Muga Apondi should not claim the money from lawyer Philip Nyachoti since he had no direct instruction to appear in the election petition.
