The judge reported that no one was caught in the driving accusation while drinking

The problem seems to cling to High Court Judge Martin Muya like a leech. The judge, who is facing court on an order he gave in a case involving businessmen and the NIC Bank, was reported missing by his wife Haurellia Mbulwa on Monday.

Hakim Muya, from the High Court in Bomet, went drinking and told his family members that he was going home.

PANIC WHICH TRIGGERS

On that day Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i issued an order to close all bars for two days for a national census to be carried out, so that the judge, who had sent many people behind bars, found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

The call from his wife sparked a series of events that almost cost him his life, with bullets fired by police officers flying around him in what was shocking and made him aware. According to police reports, the judge told his wife that he would return home at Dennis Prit Road in Nairobi, but at 4:30 in the morning, he had not yet appeared, triggering panic among his family members. They reported this problem at the Kilimani Police Station.

"He did not go home and his phone was not answered, forcing his wife to report the problem at the Kilimani Police Station," a police report said.


It was further stated that before this problem was reported, the couple's son, Mr. Benjamin Mati, had monitored the judge's vehicle and found it moving suspiciously from one point of the city to another.

Suspecting that the judge might be involved in the carjacking, the family reported the matter to the police, who circulated the details of the car registration.

Then, the officer saw the car in Kileleshwa.

"The police shot the right tire and deflated it, forcing the vehicle, which was moving, to stop," the police reported.

VERY DRUNK

He added: "On the ship was a judge, who was very drunk. He denied the carjacking. No one was injured in the incident. The vehicle was pulled into the Kilimani Police Station. "

Judge Muya excused himself from the bench two months ago, choosing to take time off to focus on the petition before the court. Kericho High Court Judge George Dullu has briefly held on Bomet.

This incident highlighted Judge Muya, who was facing trial over the petition filed by NIC Bank, the defendant in the case of pitting against Alfred Kipkorir Mutai and Kipsigis Stores Ltd.

"In this case (HCC NO 4 of 2016) the judge after many delays gave a court decision and reserved the reasons for a period of five months," said a statement issued by the Judicial Services Commission when the announcement of the establishment of the court was made. .

It further stated: "This completely ignores the NIC's request that motor vehicles, which have been given to him as security, are sold, and finally sold; thus causing losses to the bank. "

The court also investigated Justice David Njagi Marete, and Justice Lucy Waithaka for the myriad of allegations they faced individually.

In 2003, Judge Muya was one of 83 judges who had been removed from his position in the Court's purge, but he was rehired at the appeal level and then promoted to judge.
