Jacque Maribe Files Suit Against DPP Noordin Haji

Citizen TV Journalist Jacque Maribe has moved to court suing the DPP Noordin Haji and the DCI boss George Kinoti.

Maribe wants the two held for failure to surrender her car and her Lang'ata rental house as had been directed by the court.

In her application through her lawyer, Katwa Kigen, Maribe has also faulted the two for failing to surrender her phone,sim-cards and memory cards.

“Punishment(s) be meted out to the contemnors for their imprisonment for a period of up to six months and or a fine of Sh200,000 or otherwise as the court may deem fit, just and fair for the integrity of the court proceeding…” reads a section of Maribe's application.

The journalist who is out on bail also wants the lead prosecutor Catherine Mwaniki disqualified from the case over her failure to submit any written documents to her defence team ahead of the hearing. 

Maribe wants the court to award her “monetary compensation for delay to hand over the house as the court may deem just and fair.”

The Royal Media management sent Maribe on a compulsory leave to allow her to deal with the controversial issues surrounding her involvement in the murder of Monica Kimani.

Justice James Wakiaga approved Maribe's bail application but gave strict conditions to her involvement in her career before the full determination of the case where she is a suspect in the businesswoman's murder.
