Former Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) boss, PLO Lumumba, has asked for time to settle out of court a case in which he has been sued for alleged plagiarism.
Justice Joseph Oguto directed the matter to be mentioned on December 13, 2016 for further directions.
“Let the matter be mentioned on December 13 with a view of recording a settlement,” Justice Onguto directed.
In the case, author Wachira Maina, has accused Lumumba of using quotations from an article he authored and was published in the East African newspaper in 2013.
Through lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, the author accused Lumumba of dishonoring his position as the Kenya School of Law Director and should, therefore, be restrained from his duties.
He is demanding compensation for the offence which he described as unethical behavior.
