According to court documents, Mr. Orangi accused his neighbor of spying on him and his family.
Appearing before High Court Judge Anthony Mrima, Mr. Orangi claims that the neighbor Ms. Maeda is infringing on his privacy.
According to Ms. Lorraine Odhiambo, who is Mr. Orangi’s lawyer, the neighbor should have consulted her client before erecting the device.
“There is a travesty of justice to be occasioned against the petitioner on the grounds that on or about March 10, 2022, the respondent who is the petitioner’s neighbor, without consent and knowledge of the petitioner, erected a CCTV camera and or spying device overlooking the petitioner’s property.” Ms. Odhiambo said.
Also, according to reports, the device was ejected on the 10th march 2022. Mr. Orangi’s house is adjacent Ms. Maeda’s house.
“The invasion of privacy by the respondent is continuous and without legal or legitimate basis,” Ms. Odhiambo added.
“If the respondent is not stopped by this honorable court, the said CCTV camera and or spying device erected by the respondent continues to capture and have information on the private affairs of the petitioner and his family members.” Stated Ms. Odhiambo.
In a supporting affidavit, Mr. Orangi argued that Ms. Maeda ought to have given him a notice, either an oral or a written one that she intended to install the CCTV camera.
Mr. Orangi, further told the court that he doesn’t feel safe when his safe when his neighbor has vital information about his family.
“My family does not feel safe knowing that the respondent has custody of information and images relating to our private life.” Mr. Orangi alleged.
Further, the petitioner demands competition for alleged infringement of privacy and an order to block the neighbor from putting up any other form of CCTV camera.
“The invasion of privacy by the respondent continuously and without any legal and legitimate justification has amounted to harassment of the petitioner and his family which is a breach of their fundamental rights and freedoms as enshrined in the Constitution 2010,” Ms. Odhiambo said.
