Miguna claimed judge C.Meoli dismissed his case six days to his arrival in Kenya on October 20.

Lawyer Miguna Miguna is up in arms against a judge whom he accused of dismissing four cases he filed against former Interior CS Fred Matiang'i and PS Karanja Kibicho.

In a tweet on Saturday, the controversial Lawyer claimed judge C.Meoli dismissed his case six days to his arrival in Kenya on October 20.

Miguna said it was wrong for the judge to remove the case without noticing him adding that he was not given a chance to defend himself.

"Who is Justice C. Meoli? On whose ORDERS did she dismiss 4 of my cases against Fred Matiang’i, Kibicho & Others on 14 October 2022 - 6 days before my return to Kenya - without notice to me instead of rendering judgement against the defendants who hadn’t defended," she said.

Miguna has now asked his Lawyers to reinstate the cases and take a legal action against the judge. He added that the move by the Judge is illegal and against common practice.

"Justice C. Meoli must be investigated for surreptitiously presiding over multiple cases against state perpetrators of impunity and other apologists in secret and without notice to me. I have instructed advocates to reinstate the cases and pursue action against the judge," he said.

Adding that:

"The rules of the Court and common practice around the world don't permit a single judge to preside over and determine more than one case in one sitting, yet Justice C. Meoli purported to dismiss more than 4 cases I had filed against various parties at one sitting without notice."
