Arati ordered to appear in person over Keroka Boundary dispute

KISII, Kenya, Mar 7 – The Environment and Lands Court sitting in Nyamira has ordered Kisii Governor Simba Arati to appear on Tuesday next week over contempt charges in the Keroka Boundary dispute.

Justice Mugo Kamau heard and determined the Keroka Boundary dispute two weeks ago and a larger share of Keroka town was relocated to Nyamira.

The Kisii Court Government has already appealed the judgement which allocated the larger share of Keroka town to Nyamira.

“Due to the urgency and sovereignty of the issue mentioned in the application and the gravity of the matter , the same will be mentioned in open court on 12/03/2024 at 10.30 am, ” the Court order reads.

The Contempt of Court Application was done by Rigoma Ward MCA Nyambega Gisesa who accused the Kisii County boss of failing to abide by a judgement of the Court over the Keroka Town Boundary.
