On August 3, 2019, the family of the late Kibra Member of Parliament Ken Okoth filed a consent in court, agreeing to have DNA samples taken from Okoth's body and allowing his alleged son to participate in the funeral ceremony.
According to the consent, both parties through their lawyers agreed to provide their own pathologists to have DNA samples taken from Okoth's body for testing to prove the paternity of the boy at the centre of controversy.
Okoth's family maintained that the matter was purely a family issue and no dispute existed in the manner of disposing of the body of their beloved one nor his properties.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi later ruled that the Director of Public Prosecutions suffered a major setback in its attempt to prosecute Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria over charges of hate speech.
The magistrate ruled that the legislator had no case to answer after the prosecution failed to authenticate the source of the video in which Kuria was allegedly captured uttering the inciting words at Wangige Market in Kiambu County on September 5, 2017.
Finally, embattled Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu alongside other suspects accused of corruption related charges in connection to a 588 million shillings irregular road tender will know the fate of their bail review application on Monday.
