John Jomo Kenyatta, the son of former president Uhuru Kenyatta, filed a petition with the High Court to contest the government's decision to revoke his weapons license.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's son, John J. Kenyatta, has urged the Milimani Law Courts to intervene and stop the state from cancelling his gun license in an urgent case.
He requests that "the due process set out in the Firearms Act" be followed when the Chief Licensing Officer, the Firearms Licensing Board, and the Attorney General seek his license.
John claims in court documents that the decision to revoke his gun's license violates section 5(8) of the Guns Act. John makes this claim through Attorney Fred Ngatia.

Despite having a license, he contends that he has yet to be told the reasons for the planned revocation.
On July 21, cops demanded that Jomo turn over his firearms, but no explanation was given, according to Jomo.
When Jomo questioned the offices about the possible causes of the sudden demand for his weaponry, they pretended not to know.
He pleaded with the court to get involved because he was worried about possible strong-arm techniques being used.
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki announced on Friday that 23 firearms had been found in three homes in Karen, Nairobi, as a result of an operation that had been started after it was determined that civilian gun owners had provided the weapons used in the demonstrations.
"Today afternoon, an operation has been going on targeting three homesteads within the Karen area where a total of 23 firearms, some of which are suspected to have been used in illegal activities, are kept," he said on Friday.
Since then, the former president has spoken out to defend his family from the assault, daring the state to confront him rather than look out for his family.
Uhuru swore he would protect his family at any cost.
