Axed lawman wants Nyong’o jailed – Weekly Citizen

Former attorney of Kisumu county government Amos Omollo has sued Governor Anyang Nyong’o for contempt of court after he failed to reinstate him and pay his salaries and benefits. Omollo wants the governor, the county secretary Godfrey Kigochi and Babu Karani, chairman of county Public Service Board committed to civil jail for acting in contempt of Employment and Labour Relations Court order issued on October 11 2019 and April 9 2020 reinstating him as county attorney.

Prof Anyang Nyongo

The petitioner maintains that he is still an employee of the county government after Justice Mathews Nduma issued a temporary injunction compelling the respondents to be reinstated forthwith and his salary and benefits paid. The petitioner wants the court to rule that the three be committed to prison for six months and at the same time be barred from addressing the court until they absolve themselves of the contempt.
