Migori Governor Okoth Obado's co-accused have asked a High Court judge to disqualify herself from hearing their murder case. Michael Oyamo, a personal assistant to Obado, and Casper Obiero, a clerk in Migori county, are apprehensive that judge Jessie Lesiit who is currently handling the case will not give them a fair trial. Their fear is informed by the decision of the judge to deny them bond even as she granted their co-accused, the governor. The judge, he says, while denying him bond earlier made reference to circumstantial evidence which he thinks is dangerous ground to use. Oyamo too believes he doesn't stand a chance of justice being served to him should judge Lesiit continue handling case.
