Wednesday, January 31, 2024 - Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s son, Jomo, has withdrawn a case he had sued the Kenya Kwanza government over plans to withdraw his firearms.
In a consent adopted by High
Court judge Jairus Ngaah on Wednesday, Jomo withdrew the case he filed last
year after the State agreed not to interfere with his firearms license.
The parties further agreed that
the Firearms Licensing Board does not intend to withdraw the license and that
it will follow the procedure laid out in the Firearms Act, in dealing with
Jomo.
“By consent, this matter is
hereby marked as settled,” Justice Ngaah said.
Jomo moved to court in July last
year after police officers stormed his Windy Ridge home in Karen and demanded
that he surrender his firearms.
He argued that the move was in
violation of his constitutional rights.
The officers had stormed Jomo’s
apartment, claiming he was renting his guns to Azimio One Kenya Alliance
supporters, who were allegedly shooting police officers during the mass protests organized
by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
