Victory for governor Ngilu as case collapse

By Masscomkenya Reporter

GOVERNOR Kaluki Ngilu Thursday won a decisive victory for the people of Kitui when a case by Mt Kenya Wholesalers against the County Government dramatically collapsed at the High Court.

The victory means that Mrs Ngilu has successfully protected her people from consuming contaminated foodstuff stored in conditions that contravene Public Health Act, hence risking their health. Healthcare forms the second pillar of the governor’s manifesto. She has since launched the Kitui County Health Insurance Cover-K-CHIC to underscore her commitment in the health front.

The collapse of the case was heralded by a fallout between the proprietor of the firm Mr Simon Mwangi and his advocates, forcing him to stand solo and represent himself in the final court action where he signed off a five-point consent order, effectively throwing in the towel in the protracted contest where he was challenging the closure of his stores.

Mr Malonza, flanked by Mr. Davidson Makau and County Senior Counsel Marianne Matuvi were all smiles as they filed the consent order declaring that the matter be marked as withdrawn and all consequential orders discharged. Mr Malonza signed the order on behalf of the County Government while Mwangi inked the deal personally.
The order was addressed to the Deputy Registrar of the High Court,Machakos and dated October 8, 2018.

The order also allows Mwangi to remove all his goods from the premises identified as City Gate Building along Mukuti Street within the Kitui Central Business District (CBD) area and at the store along Kilungya Street at Plot Number 610.

Further, the order requires the trader to remove all goods from the said premises and undertake not to carry on business on the same premises until and when they conform to County Regulations. It concluded that Mwangi and Mt Kenya Wholesalers have no further claims against the respective Chief Officers for Treasury and Health and the County Government of Kitui that all parties bear their own costs.
