She had petitioned that the court to compel Toroitich to pay her Ksh1 million every month.

The Koibatek Ward MCA hopeful told the court that her attempts to get in contact with Toroitich were fruitless, alleging he might have blocked.

Jeruto contested for the seat in 2017 under a KANU ticket but lost.

Toroitich is the son of the late Jonathan Moi, Mzee Moi's eldest son.
