The High Court has dismissed an application by Jackson Kihara Gachucha, who claims to be Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's nephew, to review his 20-year sentence for robbery with violence.

• The court ruled that the issues raised by Gachucha, including claims of a politically motivated prosecution linked to inheritance disputes, lacked merit and had already been settled by the Court of Appeal.
• Key individuals involved include Jackson Kihara Gachucha and Justice Alexander Muteti of the High Court.
• A notable detail is that Gachucha's father, whose estate is in dispute, died in 2017, two years after Gachucha was arrested and charged in 2015, undermining his claims of a link between the criminal case and the succession dispute.
