By Alphonce Mungahu Kenya, December 20, 2023
An Appeal Court has found Nairobi MCA Robert Mbatia guilty of disobeying orders that stopped him from taking over a family property.
George Ngacha Njiriri with his family members had moved to court seeking justice after the Kariobangi South MCA took over their property located in Buruburu estate despite a court order stopping the eviction.
In a ruling delivered on December 15 by judges Sankale Ole Kantai, Francis Tuiyot and Mwaniki Gachoka found Mbatia guilty and ordered that he appears in court to explain why he should not be committed to civil jail.
“Ultimately, we find and order Robert Mbatia and the person or persons occupying the office of the County Secretary, County Government of Nairobi between 14th April 2023, and 16th June 2023 are guilty of disobeying the order of this Court,” the judges ruled.
