VERSUS
VIHIGA COUNTY GOVERNMENT……………...RESPONDENT/CLIENT
RULING
1. When I settled down to prepare the ruling that the parties are waiting for in respect of the pending business herein, I found it extremely difficult for me to move forward in view of my past interactions with the principal partners of the applicant law firm, and especially taking note of the fact that this is a matter where they are parties, and I am called upon to make a decision for or against them.
2. On account of the above, I do hereby recuse myself from the matter. I shall place it before my brother Judge, Njagi J.
3. I regret the delay that has been there between 15th November 2019 when the ruling was first due and now. I too regret the inconvenience that my having to get out of the matter will cause to all those involved.
DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at KAKAMEGA this 11th DAY OF December, 2019
