Lawsuit on mediation hits a snag
An attempt to stop the adoption of resolutions of Annan-led mediation talks has hit a snag. The High Court declined to issue temporary orders to that effect, pending the hearing and determination of a suit challenging the mediation talks. Justice Joseph Nyamu said Section Three of the Constitution gives the mediation team the right to assemble and express themselves. He also declined to allow the applicant, Mr Anthony Kirori, orders to inform the respondents about the suit through the media. However, he certified the case as urgent, ordered Kirori to serve the suit papers in the next seven days and fixed a hearing date for March 3. The judge also ordered that the case be heard when all parties are present.
