By ANITA CHEPKOECHMore by this AuthorThe petitioner who wanted a Kericho court to order six members of county assembly to purchase a new mace has withdrawn the case. Through his lawyer Onesmas Langat, Mr Soy Cheruiyot told Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi that the mace had already been repaired and that the conservatory order he sought should be withdrawn. We therefore seek to withdraw the conservatory orders to have the respondents to purchase a new one,” said the lawyer. The petitioner also abandoned the order he sought that the respondents be barred from participating in the affairs of the county assembly. The six representatives, through their lawyer Charles Kiplagat, filed a response to the suit saying that the petitioner had lied to the court that he had been at the public gallery in the county assembly when the chaos broke out.
