Uhuru Kenyatta’s son firearm license case is a wild goose chase.

Attorney General Justin Muturi has said the case filed by son to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Jomo, regarding his gun license has no merit.

Muturi says Jomo has not presented any evidence to substantiate the claim that his firearms license was revoked.

The Attorney General supported the request of the Firearms Licensing Board to have the matter dismissed as it was based on hearsay.

In the documents submitted to the court, Government Advocate Munene Wanjohi criticized Jomo for failing to complete the legal procedures to resolve the matter before going to court.

“The court should not be burdened with issues where the law has provided alternative methods to resolve disputes,” he said.

Wanjohi insists that the party can only start a case if he has completed all the procedures without finding a solution.

“The requests sought by Jomo are premature as there is no evidence provided by him to prove that the government intends to confiscate his firearms license or that we are in the process of confiscating his firearms,” ​​he said.

Jomo in his papers he submitted to the court two months ago sought an order to prevent the chief licensing officer and the licensing board from confiscating his weapons.

Also sought is an order to revoke the decision to revoke the license without following the procedure.

Judge Jairus Ngaah also prevented the Chief Licensing Officer and the Arms Board from confiscating Jomo’s firearms license or surrendering the firearms license with registration number 0000530 or the firearms under the license without following the procedure as stipulated in the Arms Act, Chapter of the 114th.

The order was issued after Jomo told the court that when the officers arrived, they asked him to hand over his guns on July 21, for no reason.

Judge Ngaah ordered the case to be heard on December 5, 2023.
