Court Postpones Ruling On Barasas Extradition Case

The High Court will now give a ruling on this suit on the 30th January this year.

Justice Richard Mwongo said he will give the ruling after hearing Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku’s request for enforcement of the warrant of arrest.

The High Court Judge said he will hear the minister's request on 20th January.

Justice Mwongo referred a petition in which Barasa is challenging Kenya’s continued cooperation with the Hague based court back to Justice Isaac Lenaola, who had referred it to him on Monday.

ICC issued a warrant of arrest against the journalist last year to face charges of interfering with witnesses in the trials of Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang.
