DRAMA: Celebrated Lawyer Brings Client To Court In An Ambulance
Drama and disagreement erupted at the Milimani High Court as lawyer Ndegwa Njiru presented his client, Ashwin Shah, for a show cause hearing, as ordered by the court.
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the court was informed that the plaintiff in the case (Ashwin) was on the court grounds but was unable to enter the courtroom due to his presence in an ambulance.
Ndegwa Njiru has linked ghost schools to Ruto’s 2027 electoral agenda.
Lady Justice Njoki Mwangi, the presiding judge in the case, questioned why he had been transported in an ambulance, noting that the act was theatrical.
She also questioned why she was not advised that the plaintiff would be transported to court in an ambulance.

“Why was I not told that the plaintiff would be brought in an ambulance? Is this not drama you are causing?” Judge Njoki asked lawyer Njiru.
In his defence, lawyer Njiru stated that he attempted to address the court about his client’s current situation, but was silenced while explaining.
“My lady, when we appeared before you yesterday (Monday, November 3, 2025), I attempted to address you on the immobility of the plaintiff, but then I was muted by the court. In the morning, when I appeared and requested for this time, I again indicated to the court we shall bring the plaintiff in the condition in which he is,” lawyer Njiru told the court.
However, Judge Njoki stated that lawyer Njiru did not inform the court of his client’s illness.
Judge Njoki said that on October 4, 2024, she ordered the plaintiff and an auctioneer to appear in court for a notice to show cause.
Audience With The Court
In October 2025, the judge indicated unequivocally that she will not allow the plaintiff any further audience until he appears in court.
“It must not be forgotten that on October 14, 2025, I was categorical that I will give no further audience to the plaintiff until he either surrenders in court in answer to the notice to show cause as to why he should not be punished for contempt of court or he is to be brought to court under the warrants of arrest issued,” Judge Njoki stated.
“In my ruling of October 3, 2025, I declined to set aside or lift the warrant of arrest issued against the plaintiff on November 22, 2024,” the judge added.
It was also revealed that the plaintiff’s legal team had indicated that he suffers from dementia, prompting the judge to question his ailment since he has been issuing instructions to his legal team and swearing affidavits.
“It has been purported time and again that the plaintiff is sick and allegedly suffering from dementia, but he has numerous times filed applications and supportive affidavits which clearly indicate that he does not suffer from dementia,” Judge Njoki stated.

Judge Njoki has ordered the Parklands Police Station officers to produce the plaintiff before court after he recovers from the ailment he is suffering from.
“Since notice to show cause can not be done on a litigant who is in an ambulance, the police from Parklands Police Station will produce him in court on any working day from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, after the plaintiff, Aswin Shah, recovers from whatever ailment he is suffering from. Those are the orders of the court.”
