Nairobi, May 4 -- The Machakos County Secretary Dr Muya Ndambuki is facing possible punishment for contempt of court after the High Court ordered him to personally appear and explain alleged disobedience of a binding court order.

Justice Rhoda Rutto directed the County Secretary to appear before the High Court in Machakos on June 11, 2026 for mitigation and sentencing after finding merit in an application seeking contempt proceedings against him.

The application was filed by Koto Housing Kenya Limited, which moved to court seeking leave to institute contempt proceedings over failure by the County Government of Machakos to comply with an earlier order issued on May 19, 2025.
