The High Court has extended orders suspending the producers of Real Housewives of Nairobi show from involving four minors belonging to a minister in a foreign country in the production of their show.
Justice Lawrence Mugambi issued the temporary orders on May 6 restraining the producer from holdings broadcasting, recording, filming or audio taping the dour minors and the CS.
The Judge in that order said the respondents including the minister's wife should not record the children or do anything likely to disclose their identification.
The matter had been scheduled for hearing today after one of the producers objected to the case.
The producer argues that the entire petition is flawed for failing to state which rights have been violated.
"No evidence has been provided regarding the alleged complaints against the 1st respondent confirming it has videotaped, audiotaped, filmed, portrayed, photographed and otherwise recorded the petitioner or his children, their likeness and their voice in connection with the reality show," says the producer.
But the matter failed to proceed for hearing as some of the parties are yet to file their papers in regard to the preliminary objection saying service was effected late.
Justice Mugambi in extending the orders directed the matter to come for further directions on July 17.
In the case, the minister sued his wife living in Kenya for involving their four minors in the production of Real Housewives of Nairobi without his consent.
The Real Housewives of Nairobi is a Kenyan reality television series that documents the personal and professional lives of several women residing in Kenya.
When he filed the case last year, the minister said the filming was happening at their matrimonial home in Nairobi, Kenya where their children are.
This, he said, has become an unsuitable environment for them to be in.
“The filming and broadcasting covers aspects of my wife’s life in her marriage to me and her life as a mother to the children which I didn’t agree to.”
