Ms Ann Waiguru has filed a suit against Google Inc, its subsidiary Blogger Inc, and Kenyan website The Daily Post seeking payment for a story published in the post.
Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru has requested for an extension of time to enable her serve Internet giant Google with court papers outside the country.
She is seeking compensation for an alleged defamatory story against her that was published by a Kenyan blogger in 2014.
Ms Waiguru, through her lawyer, on Thursday requested High Court Judge Lucy Njuguna to extend by a further 12 months the period within which she can serve court papers to California-based Google.
She needs more time to try and serve Google again through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The summons initially granted on March 23, 2015, have since expired.
“The validity of the summons in this matter expired as Ms Waiguru’s counsel sought assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the service of summons outside the country. The expiry of summons was not occasioned by delays on Ms Waiguru’s part.
In the circumstances, it is only fair and just that the validity of the summons be extended,” explained her lawyer.
