A judge has declined to stop the trial of former Murang’a governor Mwangi wa Iria and four others, which is pending before a Milimani magistrate.

Justice Nixon Sifuna struck out the petition stating that although it raised fundamental issues that the court needed to determine, Mr wa Iria’s lawyer amended the case without the leave of court, a move he deemed as improper.
