Coast Governor Hassan Joho has been given 21 days to file his mitigation statement before the High Court can sentence him over contempt of court conviction.
On May 28, the High Court found Joho guilty of disobeying a court order stopping him from interfering with the property of local tycoon Ashok Doshi.
According to the court, Joho had accused Doshi of grabbing the property belonging to Changamwe Secondary School, but the court ruled in favor of Doshi.
As a result, Joho was sued alongside Changamwe MCA Bernard Ogutu, and the case will be mentioned on July 2.
Meanwhile, in Meru County, Governor Kiraitu Murungi has hit back at local Woman Representative Kawira Mwangaza in the ongoing tussle between the two leaders.
On June 6, officers from the County Revenue Board clashed with Mwangaza and her husband Murega Baicu over alleged unpaid broadcasting licences at Baite TV premises.
Despite being asked to apologize, Kiraitu maintained that he would not apologize, saying he has great respect for women.
