Eldoret Law Courts Comply with Commission's Order, Grants Access to Information

An applicant, David Kanyungu can finally pursue his complaints at the Advocates Complaint Commission following the release of information by the Eldoret Law Courts.

Mr. Kanyungu made a review for application under Section 14 (1)(a) of the access to information following the decision of the court to refuse to grant him access to information. According to him, the Eldoret Law Courts failed to furnish him with the information requested for the proceedings for Eldoret Chief Magistrate’s Court Civil Suit Number 1456/2004- David Maina Kanyungu versus Standard Assurance (K) Limited which he had requested on 13th December 2022. 

The proceedings according to him, were required by the Advocates Complaints Commission to enable them to address a professional misconduct complaint that he had lodged against his advocate at the Commission. Mr. Kanyungu was not issued with the requested information despite the lapse of the twenty-one (21) days statutory period. 

The Commission reviewed the appeal and issued an order leading to the release of the court proceedings upon the payment of the requisite court fees for the same which shall enable him to pursue his complaint at the Advocates Complaints Commission.
