Ruling

1. I have gone through the undated Notice of Motion application filed under certificate of urgency and the supporting affidavit of the applicant, Muia Kimatu, the applicant has sought a review of the ruling of the trial court in which his bail terms were cancelled and a warrant of arrest issued. He has averred that he is suffering from acute duodenal ulcers, asthma and high blood pressure which is problematic to control while in prison. I am however, not satisfied that the application is merited to warrant being heard urgently. I therefore issue the following orders:1. That the matter is NOT certified urgent.2. That the application and order of this court be served upon the respondent on or before September 15, 2023. 3.That upon service, the respondent to file the response on or before October 2, 2023. 4.That this matter be mentioned on October 31, 2023 for directions.Orders accordingly.
