By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorStarehe MP Charles Njagua, a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, on Friday lost a case to stop Saturday’s rescheduled presidential poll in four counties. Although John Mativo certified urgent two cases against the rescheduled election, the judge failed to issue temporary orders stopping the repeat poll but instead directed the parties to appear before him on October 30 – Monday. BOYCOTTIn the first case, Mr Njagua, popularly known as the musician Jaguar, wanted the election in Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori and Siaya counties stopped, arguing that going ahead with the plans will cause confusion. SABBATHMr Hesbon Omollo, an SDA member, also moved to the High Court seeking to stop the poll, saying that it was wrong to reschedule it on a Sabbath day. This would have the effect of desecrating a Sabbath, a day that the SDA faithful hold dear,” Mr Omollo said.
