The rally ace is facing a murder charge following the death of her boyfriend and fellow rally driver, Asad Khan.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have been granted 15 days to file a report on the findings of the case against rally driver Maxine Wahome.
The investigations officer had asked the Milimani Law Courts Senior Principle Magistrate Bernard Ochoi to terminate the miscellaneous application filed in court last year.
Ochoi ruled that the miscellaneous application could only be closed by informing Wahome of the findings.
"The findings must inform this court of the investigations. It will be unfair for the miscellaneous application to be closed without the respondent being informed about the results being conducted against her.
It would be an abuse of court process if the file is closed without the findings no matter what kind of investigations were being conducted," Ochoi said as per The Star.

Wahome first appeared in court in December 2022 after being arrested over the death of her boyfriend and fellow rally driver Assad Khan.
She was released on bail by Milimani Law Court, which also directed that the celebrated driver report to the case Investigating Officer weekly.
Wahome started her career at autocross events before joining the rallies.

She participated in the 2022 WRC Safari Rally and created history by becoming the first Kenyan female to win a WRC support championship round. Her first major title was the inaugural Lioness All-Women’s Rally in March 2022.
Her performance at the Safari Rally was more impressive as she had never driven an M-Sport-built Ford Fiesta Rally3 car before the event.
