An interesting twist is happening in the quest for justice as another Mr Aaron Ongeri has withdrawn his petition seeking the removal of supreme court judge Mohammed Ibrahim over bribery and misconduct.
Mr Jared Ongeri filed the first petition against Justices Ibrahim, Jackton Ojwang’, Smokin Wanjala and Njoki Ndung’u at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
He communicated his decision to the JSC on March 15, also withdrawing the claims he had made on links between the judge and East African Community Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohamed.
Mr Ongeri has, however, given the JSC a revised list of the telephone numbers of persons of interest, whom he says it can contact through relevant state agencies for verification of his claims.
This follows Mohammed Mohamud Sheikh action of filling a notice of withdrawal that sought the removal of four Supreme Court judges.
The petitioner said he wishes to withdraw the petition that he filed early this month “wholly, voluntarily and without condition.”
