[Joseph Kipsang/Standard]Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua has decided to back up her lawyer in pursuing an appeal challenging the decision of a Kerugoya High Court that dismissed her petition against Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru. Lawyer Gitobu Imanyara told the Appeal Court sitting in Nakuru yesterday that he was acting for the appellant (Ms Karua) and together with her would pursue the appeal. The court noted that the appeal could not be heard as there was no substantive presiding judge to handle the matter. The presiding judge of the Court of Appeal, Justice GBM Kariuki, has retired. Justice Gitari said the provisions of the Act were clear that a petitioner must disclose the full election results and the date such a declaration was made.
