The High court of Kenya has issued conservatory order barring the implementation of the resolution of the Senate for removing Meru County Governor Kawira Mwangaza, from Office by way of impeachment.
The conservatory order has been issued restraining the Speaker of the Senate, or any other person or authority, from publishing or causing to be published in the Kenya Gazette a notification or declaration of a vacancy in the Office of the Governor of Meru County.
“Upon a preliminary consideration of the same, I am satisfied that the Application raises constitutional, legal, and factual issues that meet the threshold that warrants immediate intervention by this Court by way of the issuance of ex parte interim conservatory orders,” reads the court orders.Â
“Pending the inter partes hearing and determination of the Application dated 21/08/2024, a conservatory order be and is hereby issued staying the furtherance or the implementation of the Resolution of the Senate removing the Governor of Meru County, Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, from Office by way of impeachment.”
