Rebel MPs' case: Lead lawyer storms out of Court

By Our Reporter

Prof. George Kanyeihamba, the lead lawyer of the four expelled MPs has stormed out of the Supreme Court arguing that the case has brought more death threats than the intended fruits that he expected.

The controversial Judge has told the Supreme Court bench this morning that his life has been threatened by unknown people and that his case file had been tampered with.

He has stormed out in a move that is likely to paralyze proceeding of the case.
A panel of 5 Supreme Court Judges is today set to hear an application filed by the expelled rebel MPs.

The applicants seek court order to block the Electoral Commission from conducting by-elections to fill their positions in parliament.

Justices John Wilson Ssekoko, Benjamin Odoki, Christine Kitumba, Galdino   Okello and Stellah Arach Amoko  are set  to hear the application.

The former MPs are also seeking court orders to temporarily halt a Constitutional Court ruling that kicked them out of Parliament until their appeal is heard and determined.

Last month, 4 judges of the Constitutional Court ordered the EC to conduct by elections after ruling that the expelled MPs had lost their seats following the expulsion from NRM party.
