pole kwake Okiya Omtata although he is such a fake activist. How come when we hear corruption allegations in oar office he doesn't chain himself?

Deliberate contempt of court=impunity. Activists just piss me off for their bias n irrational behaviour, that NEVER incorporates the interests of all, or at least a majority. Just wondering how magistrates will react if Mutunga allows jungle antics in the courts, against well known traditions of maximum respect in the house of the Law. IMHO, this must not be tolerated. Lawlessness must not be allowed in a court of law.

The activist on Thursday delivered a win for thousands of passengers and bus companies after convincing High Court judge Enoch Chacha Mwita to temporarily lift a ban on night travel that was issued on December 31.

Two weeks ago, he was in court in a case he had filed about Sony Sugar offloading brown sugar it had imported from Brazil.

Though Lady Justice Roselyn Aburili did not grant his wish in her January 4 ruling, Mr Omtatah had made a point.

It is the same Mr Omtatah who last October saved consumers from a hike in prices of bottled water, juice, soda and other soft drinks.

This is after he convinced Justice Mativo to issue a temporary order suspending a gazette notice that required fixing excise duty stamps on the drinks’ packaging.

Kenyans will also remember him for the cases he filed regarding last year’s General Election. One of them, concerning the October 26 repeat of the presidential election, is still at the Supreme Court.

There is also a suit he lodged relating to last year’s ban of plastic packaging by the government that is still pending hearing before a three-judge bench of the Environment and Land Court.

GREATEST VICTORIES

One of his greatest victories, he said during Friday’s interview, was in 2014 when he convinced the High Court to order the police to restore toll-free emergency number 999.

“We fought very hard. The Attorney-General opposed it but ultimately I won and the President launched it. It is one of the Jubilee achievements now,” he said. “It has helped so many people, more than I even imagined.”
