By GALGALO BOCHAMore by this AuthorA Court of Appeal judge has disqualified himself from hearing an appeal filed by Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua challenging High Court's decision to dismiss her petition against the election of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru. One of you judges spoke publicly the merits of this appeal and express the way you will rule,” alleged Mr Imanyara. Ms Karua appealed against Justice Lucy Gitari’s decision to dismiss her election petition challenging Ms Waiguru’s victory in August last year election at the Nyeri High Court. Ms Karua filed the appeal last December saying the judge was biased in the matter and applied double standards. Through lawyer Imanyara, Ms Karua says the judge ignored results of electoral materials scrutiny conducted pursuant to her orders issued on October 23, 2017.
