LSK President Nelson Havi got a reprieve after the High Court stopped his plea taking that was scheduled for Wednesday. Havi who was arrested on Tuesday and later released on a Sh10,000 police bond was directed to appear in court today to take the plea of assault. He is alleged to have assaulted the LSK CEO Mercy Wambua on Monday during a council member meeting at their offices. However, through his lawyer Bryan Khaemba the LSK boss made an application before the High Court and got orders barring his prosecution. Justice Jairus Ngaah granted Havi leave to file his substantive application challenging his arrest and prosecution.
