The High Court has temporality halted the prosecution of Embattled Controller of Budget, Margaret Nyakang'o.
This latest development stems from a petition initiated by West Mugirango MP, Stephen Mogaka, who opposed her prosecution and filed a petition challenging the case.
Justice Chacha Mwita urged all concerned parties to present their case through filed papers and highlight submissions by May 21 2024.
The courtroom drama promises a meticulous examination of the intricacies surrounding Nyakang'o's prosecution.
MP Mogaka, in his legal argument, asserted that Nyakang'o's arrest and subsequent legal troubles constitute a blatant violation of her rights.
He painted a narrative suggesting a connection between her arrest and her recent public disclosures on fiscal irregularities within various state entities—a narrative that hints at an underlying motive behind the legal proceedings.
