Jacque Maribe and Joe appeared in court for the mention of their case.

Jacque has been denied access to her car because Prosecution informed the court that authorities are not done examining it.

Prosecution yesterday informed the court that government chemist is not done analyzing the car due to lack of some reagents and once analysis is completed and the vehicle presented as exhibit it can be handed over to her.

Well, Jacque and Jowie stole the moment as they were spotted sharing an intimate moment. They both hugged passionately as they looked into each other's eyes. One can clearly tell that despite everything, they still support each other.

Joe raised complaints that he has not been taken for surgery but only been subjected to physiotherapy at the Kenyatta National Hospital and sought to be allowed to seek further treatment in a different hospital. Irungu had told the court that his left arm risks not functioning if he is not accorded the right treatment in good time. In the event he is not allowed to seek treatment at an alternative hospital, he said, the court should consider granting him bail.

However Dr Benjamin Wabwire who is specialist in plastic and rehabilitative surgery at Kenyatta National Hospital took to the witness dock and said that Irungu does not need any surgery based on tests run by the hospital. Irungu did not also have any open wound on the hand except scars, he said.

The tests, the doctor said, revealed that even though Irungu did not have injury to his nerve the axons in his nerves in the left hand have been affected. An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma.Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

In his view what Irungu needed was a rehabilitative treatment which includes a physiotherapy and occupational therapy to help the axons grow back.

The doctor noted that the axons grow back slowly depending on the distance they have to cover which makes it difficult for him to say exact number of days it will take in Irungu's case.

The findings he shared with court are based on an MRI test conducted on Irungu on November 30, he said.

He also noted that if Irungu wanted a second opinion on the matter he is free to seek.

The case will be mentioned again on February 28.
