CONSTITUTIONAL CONFUSION AS COURT BARS KIAMBU GOVERNOR FROM OFFICE

By Chris Ojow

Kiambu County Kenya Governor Ferdinand Waititu is structurally “sacked” as Anti Corruption Court bars him from accessing the County office until his matter is heard and determined.

The Governor was freed on a bond of thirty million surety of the same or a cash bail of fifteen million Kenya shillings.

Waititu was also ordered by Anti Corruption Court chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi to deposit his travel documents.

Lawyers representing the Governor are pursuing an interpretation order issued by Anti Corruption Court to bar the Governor from accessing his office.

In a recent ruling against Samburu Governor who was barred from accessing his office and is pursuing an appeal against the order.

Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi ruled that elected Governors are State officers and once charged at Anti Corruption Court they must step aside until their trials is determined.

The step aside order has generated debate within the corridors of justice, with deputy Governor’s positioning themselves to resume the duties of the Governor.

Funtions and decisions of the County are conducted in the Governors office.

Barring the Governor from the County office and the Deputy Governor with limited functions, leaving the County operations in limbo.

Governor Waititu his wife together with other accused were charged with several counts at Anti Corruption Court of Kenya.
