By MAGATI OBEBOMore by this AuthorThe High Court in Kisii has upheld Senator Sam Ongeri’s August election victory. Lady Justice Winfrida Okwany in her judgement on Monday, said the petitioners, George Ogake and Charles Orito, did not produce sufficient proof for the court to invalidate the polls. The judge ordered the petitioners to pay Sh8 million as cost to the respondents, making it one of the heaviest penalties handed to petitioners in an election case. The judge said the petition did not produce evidence that a Naftal Obwocha, a said staff of Kisii County truly worked for the county. The petitioners argued Mr Obwocha worked for the country and also acted as an agent in the polls.
