Two of the people proposed have active court cases; Aisha Jumwa and Mithiki Linturi.
In April 2022, two cases linked to Jumwa were pushed to August and September.
Jumwa is facing a murder charge and a Sh19 million graft case.
She said the two cases are politically instigated.
Danstan Omari, Jumwa’s lawyer, applied to have the case begin afresh after trial magistrate Edna Nyaloti was transferred to Nakuru law court.
Linturi on the other hand is accused that on January 30,2021, at around 3am at Maiyan Villa’s hotel in Nanyuki, he intentionally and unlawfully attempted to rape a 36 year old woman.
