Mutava had told JSC that Ngatia had invoked the minister’s name in an attempt to force him to rescind his orders. Updated Thu, June 23rd 2016 at 10:02 GMT +3High Court judge Joseph MutavaA senior counsel has accused suspended High Court judge Joseph Mutava of engaging in outright lies to “justify his illegal orders” in a suit. The embattled judge had also directed that Mr Kingi stop meddling with operations of the firm since it was not a State corporation. Ngatia told the tribunal that he had withdrawn his complaint against the judge after being prevailed upon by “people in Government” but reconsidered his decision because of the untrue statement made by the judge while appearing before the JSC, which recommended the formation of the tribunal. The tribunal adjourned until July 4 to give the defence time to prepare.
