President Uhuru Kenyatta wants the Court of Appeal to quash all adverse findings against him by High Court, arguing that he was condemned unheard.
The Court of Appeal yesterday heard that although the High Court found that the president can be sued in his personal capacity, it proceeded on the belief that he was being represented by Attorney General Kihara Kariuki and was not served with court papers.
The president faulted justices Joel Ngugi, Jairus Ngaah, George Odunga, Teresiah Matheka and Chacha Mwita, saying their ruling will hamper his discharge of duties.
