High Court Allows Uhuru Kenyatta’s Son To Keep His Licensed Firearms

The High Court has issued orders barring the government from revoking John Jomo Kenyatta’s firearms license. The court also barred the Firearms Licensing Board from compelling Jomo to surrender his firearm without following due process.

Jomo had filed an application under a certificate of urgency to stop the state’s plans to withdraw his firearm illegally. He argued that he had not been informed of the reasons for the intended revocation of his firearms despite being in possession of a license.

The court granted Jomo’s application and ordered the government to follow due process before revoking his firearms license. The court also allowed Jomo to officially lodge a substantive suit against the Chief Licensing Officer, the Firearms Licensing Board, and the Attorney General.

The case will be heard on a date to be fixed.
