Jowie, who is charged alongside Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe and was denied bail has filed a petition to have Justice James Wakiaga recuse himself from the case.

Jowie in his affidavit lamented that the judge has already passed judgement on him, painted him as a criminal and found him guilty as charged.

He states that from such comments, it is obvious that in the mind of the judge he is a hopeless person who only depends on women for sex and even kill them if he must.

“The judge has already taken away my innocence till proven guilty, stripped me of my dignity, respect and my rights to societal standing”, cry Jowie.

Further, Jowie adds that in the ruling, Judge Wakiaga made a conlusion and comparison between him and his co-accused when he stated in a paragraph “the second accused (Maribe) on the other hand is so sure of her innocence that she might only be convicted of the offense of being inlove which is not a known offence under our law…,that the investigations were only related to the first accused and not second accused….”,and that Wakiaga went ahead to juxtapose the innocence of Maribe with Adam and Eve’s story in the Bible.

According to his advocates, Cliff Ombeta and Sam Nyaberi, Justice Wakiaga exhibited bias and impartiality in the bail/bond ruling delivered on October 30.

In the notice of motion filed on Wednesday, the applicant expressed reasonable apprehension that he will not get a fair trial before the said court following allegations of unfounded and derogatory remarks and conclusions made by the judge in the said ruling.

In his ruling, justice Wakiaga said: “The picture that emerges from the prosecution’s affidavit and the pre-bail report of the 1st accused person (Jowie) is that of a male version of a slay queen which for lack of better terminology, I shall call a woman eater…”

Jowie through his advocates argue that the judge exhibited lack of independence, impartiality and equality which is required of a judicial officers and there is likelihood of bias if the main trial is continues before him.

Do you think the judge will agree to recuse himself?
