Justice Chacha Mwita said the court will determine if Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji acted legally in preferring fraud charges against Prof Ojienda, who represented Mumias between 2012 and 2018. Mr Haji accuses Prof Ojienda of obtaining money from Mumias Sugar Company through fake legal cases. “This is not a case of Prof Ojienda. “ If a client is dissatisfied with the fees charged by a lawyer, he, she or it has avenues for redress."
