A bid by 3 Lawyers to Stop the prosecution of persons mentioned in the ethics and anti corruption commission, Corruption Report has failed after the high court declined to declare it unconstitutional.
The lawyers Chege Kamau, Jibril Noor and Kipkemoi were challenging the Constitutionality of the EACC Report tabled in parliament by the President on grounds that it violates the rights of the people mentioned in it.
Justice Mumbi Ngugi said the petitioners had failed to demonstrate how their rights were violated.
The lawyers claim that the authors of the report lacked moral and legal authority to investigate corruption. They wanted a declaration that the report is unconstitutional and that the president violated the law. The case will be heard on June 9.
