Under a certificate of urgency, Rigathi through Senior Counsel Paul Muite maintains that the charges levelled against him before the national assembly and subsequently the Senate hold no water.

The respondents are listed as the speaker of the National Assembly, the Senate Assembly, the Speaker of the Senate, the Senate and the Attorney General.

Halloween is a celebration acknowledged in many countries on October 31, which is on the eve of the Western Christian festival day of All Hallow's Eve. One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots. Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianised as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church. Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day. Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century, and then through American influence various Halloween customs spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century.
