Meru High court on Thursday dismissed a petition seeking to bar Governor Peter Munya from the August polls over audit queries. Judge Alfred Mabeya struck out the petition saying Isaiah Kithinji- the petitioner - did not exhaust avenues to resolve his concerns. In his petition, Kithinji listed Munya as respondent; Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission as the first interested party. The petitioner wanted governor Munya to be denied nominations by PNU on grounds of misappropriating of county funds. Read: No petition will bar me from August polls – Munya
