Before the finalization of the decisions on Admissibility, the Commission at
its 25th Extra-Ordinary Session, held from 19 February to 5 March 2019,
observed that a majority of the then fifty-one (51)pending Communications
by Mr. Ngoge revealed similar fact patterns within the meaning of Rule 96
(1) of the Rules of Procedures on joinder of Communications. Consequently,
at its 64th Ordinary Session, held from 24 April to 14 May 2019, the
Commission adopted a paper on the joinder of the respective Ngoge
Communications based on the domestic cases that form the basis for the
Communications. In this regard, Communications based on the same
domestic cases were recommended for joinder.
24.
The above joinder notwithstanding, the Commission further observed that
even Communications based on different domestic cases filed at various
local courts demonstrated overlapping trends and revealed a similar
pattern of alleged violations. Consequently, at its 65th Ordinary Session,
held from 21 October to 10 November 2019, the Commission considered
Communications 518/15 and 521/15 and declared them Inadmissible, with
the intention that they may serve as points of reference for the
fting of
other similar Complaints from Mr. Ngoge.
