Nairobi lawyer Cliff Ombeta has been ordered to get another advocate to represent three accused persons in the Willy Kimani murder case.
High Court Judge Jessie Lessit said if Ombeta will not have recovered by next month, he will have no choice but to hand over the case to someone else.
She issued the orders on Wednesday after the court was told that Ombeta is still recuperating and is on medication.
This is the third time that Ombeta failed to appear in court to represent his three clients.
Meanwhile, lawyer Kevin Michuki will now represent the fifth accused person in the case.
