5. The Complainant alleges that on 16th January 2009, Justice Nyamu dismissed the Chamber
Summons dated 9th January 2009, on the basis of misrepresented facts arising from the
Respondent State's preliminary objections, without delving into the merits of the Chamber
Summons as required by law.
6. The Complainant states that the dismissal of the Chamber Summons provoked the
lodgment of Civil Appeal No. 37 of 2009 in the Court of Appeal which to date has not been
listed for hearing by the Court of Appeal in what amounts to be delaying tactics employed
by the Respondent State to unduly prolong exhaustion of local remedies.
7. The Complainant avers that on 28th June 2010, Justice Wendoh dismissed the Constitutional
Petition dated 9th January 2009 without looking into the constitutional and human rights
issues which provoked Ms. Ekea to move the case to the Human Rights Division of the
High Court. He adds that the dismissal of the Constitutional Petition without inquiring
into its merits disregarded the ruling of Justice Nyamu dated 16th January 2009, which
states that the Constitution Petition could be heard on merits.

the Registrar of the High Court to supply certified cOBi~,sof proceedings to enable him
lodge record of appeal in the Court of Appeal.to challehge,the ruling by Justice Wendoh
dismissing the Constitutional Petition, the Registrar has, as of the date of submission of this
Complaint, refused to supply the requested documents, making it difficult to lodge the
appeal.

alleges that the dismissal of the Chamber Summons and the
Constitutional Petition without looking into the merits, violated the African Charter and
the Constitution, and deliberately disregarded a decision of the Court of Appeal - Civil
Appeal No. 110 of 2001 - Rashid Odhiambo, Aloggoh & 245 Others v. Haco Industries
Limited. The said decision held that the availability of other lawful causes of action is no
bar to a party who alleges a contravention of his rights under the Constitution.
10. The Complainant also alleges that by dismissing the Chamber Summons and the
Constitutional Petitioh, Justice Nyamu and Justice Wendoh discriminated against Ms.
Ekea and subjected her to selective application of the rule of law, denied her access to
justice, unlawfully shielded and insulated the Respondent State from being held
accountable for serious allegations of human rights violations. He adds that the
Respondent State's actions are meant to deliberately cripple his legal practice in violation of
the African Charter and other international human rights instruments.
