The High Court has stopped the prosecution of the Murgor sisters in an assault case with the Ndichu brothers that happened last year.
Stephanie Murgor and Cheryl Murgor moved to court seeking to stop their prosecution, saying the DPP was wrong to charge them.
The sisters had been summoned to appear before the Kibera court to answer to charges of affray and assault alongside Samuel Ramdas and Patrick Koech.
Through their lawyer Phillip Murgor, the sisters said they are vulnerable victims of sexual and gender-based violence and not accused persons.
Murgor says the DPP and the state in collusion with the Ndichu brothers who are reportedly self-employed billionaires have an ulterior motive to maliciously charge the sisters.
Justice Antony Mrima on Monday issued orders staying the criminal proceedings against the two sisters pending hearing and determination of the case.
According to court papers, the charges are not supported by sufficient evidence but is intended to serve extraneous and ulterior purposes which include ensuring the discharge or acquittal of the Ndichu brothers.
He wants the court to bar the DPP from consolidating the Ndichu brothers' assault case with their case.
