Professor Kithure Kindiki was on Friday 1st November morning formally sworn in as the new deputy president, replacing Rigathi Gachagua who was impeached by the Senate last month.
His swearing-in followed hours after the High Court in Nairobi lifted the conservatory orders issued by a court in Kerugoya and Nairobi that barred his swearing-in.
During the swearing-in ceremony, Kithure Kindiki took two oaths, the oath of allegiance and the oath of office. The oath-taking process was conducted by Judiciary Registrar Winfred Mokaya and witnessed by Chief Justice Martha Koome.
