Governor Left Stranded In Court After His Lawyer Withdrew His Services

Vihiga County governor Wilber Ottichillo was left stranded in court after the lawyer representing him decided to withdraw his services.

Andrew Masiega was representing the governor alongside County Assembly Speaker Hasna Mudeizi, County Secretary Ezekiel Ayego, and the County Principal Legal Officer Esther Andisi, in a contempt of court case.

Ottichillo appeared in court to challenge the case that had been filed by former County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) Amos Kutwa (Health), Paul Mbuni (Lands), Pamela Kimwele (Public Service), and Kenneth Keseko (Transport and Infrastructure).

Musiega told the court that he had decided to take his leave because he was being harassed.

“I wish to withdraw from the proceedings because I’m being harassed,” Musiega told High Court Judge Farrah Amin.

Ottichilo was forced to ask the court to grant him time to find a new legal representative.

“I note with a lot of apprehension that my lawyer has decided to move out of this case yet I rely on him for legal representation. My nature of duty is so demanding that without a lawyer, I will be lost.

“I, therefore, request for time to source for another lawyer to represent me in this matter of both county and national importance,” the governor said.

The CECMs were impeached by the Vihiga County Assembly in June this year over claims of gross misconduct and abuse of office.

They however moved to court to challenge their dismissal . Judge Christine Baari ruled in their favor and ordered governor Ottichillo to reinstate the four members.

Instead of reinstating them, Ottichillo decided to appoint other members to fill the positions.
