Uhuru’s son Jomo Drops Gun Case After Deal With State
Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta’s son, John Jomo Kenyatta, has withdrawn his legal action against the state concerning his firearm license.
A resolution was reached between Jomo Kenyatta, the Chief Licensing Officer, the Firearms Licensing Board, and the Attorney General, culminating in a court-recorded consent.
During the court proceedings presided over by Justice Jairus Ngaah, both parties agreed to settle the dispute, leading to the case being marked as resolved.
In the consent, the state committed to refraining from any interference with Jomo’s firearm license. Furthermore, it was established that the state would adhere to the procedures outlined in the Firearms Act when dealing with Jomo’s case.

The decision to withdraw the case comes after a period of negotiations between Uhuru Kenyatta’s son and the state, with both parties exploring the possibility of settling the matter amicably outside the courtroom.
In the previous month, Jomo Kenyatta, represented by Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia, informed the court about the ongoing negotiations and expressed the intention to settle the dispute out of court.
Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia also requested the court to schedule a mention date for January 31, 2024. This would allow both parties to potentially finalize the resolution and officially record the consent, signifying the end of the legal proceedings related to Jomo Kenyatta’s firearm license.
The withdrawal of the case suggests a mutual understanding between the parties involved and the willingness to find a resolution through negotiations rather than pursuing a protracted legal battle.
