Businessman Jimi Wanjigi has been granted further reprieve by the High Court in his battle against the government. 

After stopping his arrest on Tuesday over alleged gun-find in his home, the court has extended its orders. 

Justice Enoch Chacha on Thursday also declined to order the Sh50, 000 anticipatory bail granted Mr Wanjigi earlier. 

Earlier, Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko had requested the court to review the bail terms but the judge's Thursday decision extended Wanjigi's reprieve. 

"I see no reason to vary the bond terms since the sued parties have filed responses to this case to enable me make a ruling, orders earlier granted are hereby extended," said Justice Mwita.

State lawyer Victor Mule told the court that the DPP and IG Joseph Boinnet had no objection to him granting the anticipatory bail.

He however argued that the same must be varied considering the seriousness of the offense being investigated. 

Without disclosing the offence Wanjigi is being investigated for, Mr Mule claimed that his bond terms must be strict in such circumstances. 

The case will be mentioned next on December 8.
