The High Court has lifted orders barring Deputy President Designate Kithure Kindiki from being sworn in as the deputy President
The three-judge bench led by Justice Eric Ogola is also comprised of Justice Anthony Mrima and Fredah Mugambi.
The bench said that the High Court in Kerugoya has issued orders barring Kithure Kindiki from assuming office as Deputy President pending the hearing and determination of a case filed before it.
David Munyi Mathenge and Peter Gichobi Kamotho sought the orders after the National Assembly approved the nomination of Kindiki as the new Deputy President, a day after the Senate voted to impeach Rigathi Gachagua.
Mathenge and Kamotho have sued the Senate, the Speaker of the Senate, and two others.
The case was filed under a certificate of urgency before Justice Mwongo Richard Mururu. The case was later consolidated with others that had been filed in Nairobi.
