By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorNairobi Governor Mike Sonko wants an appeal filed an ODM official seeking to resuscitate a petition challenging his election dismissed. Through his lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui, Mr Sonko said the case filed at the Court of Appeal by Dr Noah Akala seeks to expand the scope of the appeal yet it raises similar issues to the ones filed by Japheth Muroko and Zachaeus Okoth. SECURITYThe Judge ruled that withdrawing the petitioners from the case and leaving the case in abeyance, would cause anxiety to Mr Sonko and residents of Nairobi. The two petitioners also complained that the Judge failed to address the matter of their security, after raising it with the court. On Monday, the Court of Appeal judges consolidated the two petitions and directed Mr Kinyanjui to file and serve his motion to strike out one of the appeals in two days.
