By JOSEPH WANGUIMore by this AuthorThe High Court in Kerugoya was on Monday thrown into quandary after three residents tried to block former Kirinyaga senator Daniel Karaba from withdrawing a petition he filed challenging the election of his successor Mr Charles Kibiru. VALIDITYThrough lawyer Julius Njoroge, the poll loser indicated that Mr Karaba’s withdrawal should not mark the end of the case and it should proceed to judgment. He told Justice Abigail Mshila that the applicants intend to take over the petition so that the truth can come out on who was the true winner in the disputed poll. The lawyer added that the applicants were aggrieved by Mr Karaba’s intention to withdraw from the case, suspecting that there could be collusion. The applicants termed Mr Karaba’s move to withdraw as prejudicial to Kirinyaga voters and all Kenyans as they expect the Senate to be lawfully constituted by duly elected senators.
