By JOSEPH WANGUI More by this AuthorA High Court judge has disqualified himself from hearing the murder case of former Kabete MP MP George Muchai. Justice James Wakiaga directed the case file to be placed before the presiding judge of the criminal division for re-allocation to another judge for trial and determination. But the judge dismissed the recusal application saying there was no evidence that he had exhibited biasness or proper grounds for withdrawal. They had also written another letter to the Presiding Judge of the Criminal Division stating that they prefer their matter to be handled by any other Judge except Wakiaga. Their two co-accused Jane Wanjiru Kamau alias Shiro and Margaret Njeri Wachiuri were not associated with the recusal application.
