Controversial Dagoretti North Member of Parliament Simba Arati can now breathe a sigh of relief after the High Court quashed a decision by the Firearms Licensing Board to withdraw his firearms license.
The verdict was delivered by Justice George Odunga yesterday, ordering that the security of the outspoken legislator reinstated with immediate effect.
''I order the reinstatement of the security of the applicant is reinstated pending the hearing of the application before me,'' Odunga ruled.
The legislator has on many occasions said that his life is in danger and the withdrawal of his security would make him even more vulnerable.
The attempt to withdraw his security is seen by the opposition's rank and file as punishment for his involvement in anti-government activities.
