The High Court of Kenya has overturned the government's decision to revoke businessman Jimi Wanjigi's gun license. In a ruling delivered by Judge Bahati Mwamuye, the court found that the revocation lacked legal basis and violated Wanjigi's rights. Additionally, the court terminated criminal proceedings against Wanjigi's employees, barring police and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from arresting or prosecuting him in relation to the firearms case. The ruling has been characterized as a significant legal victory for Wanjigi, as the court deemed the government's actions unlawful and dismissed the case regarding illegal possession of firearms.
