Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that pending the hearing and determination of Dr Kidero's application, CMA should not proceed with a request to several banks to be furnished with the governor's accounts details. "The authority is restrained from investigating the petitioner's bank accounts until the court determines whether it has powers to carry out the probe," ruled Mwita. According to Prof Ojienda, CMA tricked the governor into having a discussion on possible solutions to revive Mumias Sugar Company, only for them to use that information as the basis to investigate his bank accounts. He added that the CMA investigations constitute nothing but intimidation, harassment and violation of Dr Kidero's rights to dignity.
