The High Court has suspended the prosecution of Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu.
Mwilu, through her lawyers Okong'o Omogeni and Nelson Havi, filed a petition Wednesday morning, and sued the DPP, DCI and the AG for hatching a plot to force her out of office with trumped-up charges which she wants to be stopped.
Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that the DCJ's application raises significant questions that need to be addressed.
Justice Mwita directed that the case be heard on October 9, 2018.
The lady justice was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at the Supreme Court over corruption allegations.
Mwilu is accused of failing to pay taxes and executing a security belonging to the Imperial Bank, which collapsed in 2015, under false pretences.
Haji, in a statement, said the DCJ had abused her office for personal gain and accepted money as a gift in dubious circumstances.
“The evidence in our possession reveals that Lady Justice Mwilu abused her office for personal gain; accepted a gift in the form of money in circumstances which undermine public confidence in the integrity of her office, obtaining execution of a security belonging to Imperial Bank Limited, now in receivership, by false pretense, unlawful failure to pay taxes, conducted herself in disregard of the law,” said Haji.
