Naivasha Member of Parliament Jayne Kihara has secured temporary relief from criminal prosecution after the High Court suspended proceedings against her in a case involving allegations of offensive conduct.

This is after Justice Chacha Mwita on Monday issued a conservatory order barring the continuation of the case pending the determination of a constitutional petition filed by the legislator.
