By JOSEPH WANGUI More by this AuthorThe Supreme Court has dismissed a request by former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo to give new evidence in a case challenging his criminal trial in relation to fraudulent land transfer and acquisition. Mr Jirongo told the court that the evidence is credible and had officially been issued by the bank and the Registrar of Companies. AdvertisementThey said that through the application, Mr Jirongo wanted to engage the apex court in ‘gerrymandering and cat games’ in the name of adducing additional evidence. The criminal trial has since been suspended pending determination of his appeal at the Supreme Court against ruling of the appellate court delivered on July 19, 2019 that allowed his prosecution. It was also not shown that during the appeal to the Court of Appeal, Mr Jirongo had sought out the bank to provide the information and documents that he wanted to adduce at the Supreme Court.
