RULING NO. 3

1. On 22nd October 2012, after considering the petitioner’s plea for leave to cross examine Mr John Omo, I ruled that, “Leave to cross examine Mr John Omo is declined at this stage but the application may be renewed at a later stage.”

2. During the hearing of the petition, Dr Kuria, S.C., renewed his application for the cross-examination of Mr John Omo. I reserved my decision after hearing all the parties.

3. I have now considered the request in light of the depositions and submissions and in my view, I find that this case does not call for the cross examination of Mr John Omo. The reasons for this decision shall be explained in the judgement.

DATEDand DELIVERED at NAIROBI this 15th day of November 2012
