“The allegations of interference are serious and not allegations to be taken lightly” said the lawyer.

Yongo is his letter accusing Jirongo’s wife who is a state counsel of pressuring the DR to help her husband.

“The letter is a complain to DR and it is against the court specifically accuses a state counsel of putting pressure on this court and that pressure is linked directly to the complaints. It means court is not acting independently,” said Jirongo’s lawyer.

Jirongo said that allegations of interference are serious and not allegations to be taken lightly.

Yongo in his response said the DR has no jurisdiction to hear the allegations as the letter is addressed to the Chief Justice and Judicial Service Commission and it is not subject to proceedings before court.

“This application is frivolous and lacks merits. The letter is not subject to these proceedings and this court has no jurisdiction to determine the issue raised on the letter”. submitted Yongo.

Said Yongo in the letter.

In his letter Yongo raised concerns on why the deputy registrar is always absence wherever the Sh 20 million debt case against former legislator Cyrus Jirongo is coming up for mention or hearing.

“It cannot be by dint of coincidence that deputy registrar on four occasions when the matter is listed has always has an emergency or is out for a meeting. Am reliably informed that Mrs Jirongo who is a prosecutor in court four at Milimini Law court has  been putting pressure on the said deputy registrar to assist the husband into this matter”. said Yongo.
