Former Bomet Governor and Chama Cha Mashinani leader Isaac
Ruto has opted to flex his muscles on the earlier stand he had over the setting
up of a university campus in Bomet.
A legal battle between Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso and her
predecessor Isaac Ruto earlier over the Moi University Bomet campus
construction took a new twist, after Mr Ruto opted to withdraw the case earlier
filed by his administration.
The withdrawal of the lawsuit comes barely a week after the
official opening of the once controversial Moi University Bomet Campus.
Earlier, Mr Ruto wanted the plan to construct the
University campus haled. Mr Ruto withdrew the case on Tuesday.
Bomet County lawyer Steve Biko, who had initially
represented Ruto in filing of the suit, told the court that he has not been
instructed by the new applicant on how to proceed with the case saying the
change in county leadership had resulted in a replacement of the applicant in
the suit.
Appellate judges Giberet Kariuki, Sankale ole Kantai and
Fatuma Sichale adopted the consent as the ruling of the court and directed that
parties agree on costs or they file an application for taxation.
Since he joined Jubilee Party and pledging his support to Uhuru
Kenyatta, Mr Ruto has been quite, coupled with a humiliating defeat he got
during the August 8 polls.
