Nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege has moved to court seeking the suspension of her ouster as Deputy Minority Whip.
Through her lawyer Dennis Kivuti, Chege also wants the court to suspend the implementation of her removal by the Azimio La Umoja coalition.
"Pending hearing and determination of the case, the Honorable Court be pleased to issue such further or other order(s) as it may deem just and expedient for the end of justice," Court papers read.
Chege also wants the court to rule that the cost of the applications should be catered for by Azimio.
"This application be certified as urgent and be heard ex parte and service thereof be dispensed within the first instance."
In the affidavit, Chege says she was not aware of the decision purporting to remove her, adding that the process leading to the decision was manifestly malicious.
"If there was such a decision to remove me, the process was unlawful, unconstitutional, un-procedural, inconsistent, contradictory, and ultra vires the provision and procedure of the law," she said.
On June 8, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula said Chege remains to be the Deputy Minority Whip following a court order.
"Honourable members from the foregoing, my hands are tied with regard to the court order that has been brought to my attention," he said.
"Until and unless further information is provided, that this order has been varied or set aside, the court order effectively suspends the decision by the minority party on the replacement of Sabina Chege as the deputy minority whip."
The Speaker, however, acknowledged that the Azimio coalition had met all procedural requirements for the change of leadership.
He urged the Azimio outfit and Jubilee party to seek an amicable resolution, cautioning that court battles may end up being counterproductive and destroy long-standing political relationships.
"I'm confident that an amicable resolution of the issues shall positively contribute to the continuity of the business of the House and its vibrancy," Wetang'ula said.
On May 30, Azimio kicked out Chege and replaced her with Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje.
Following Mwenje's nomination, the coalition wrote to Wetang'ula seeking Chege's replacement ahead of the resumption of sittings in June.
Chege was kicked out because of her shift in loyalty to President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza government.
She was recently installed as the party leader of the Jubilee by a faction that has since embraced the Kenya Kwanza administration.
