Mwangaza case

Court to give fresh directions in Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza impeachment case.

The case is coming up today for mention to confirm compliance and to take a priority date for highlighting written submissions.

Mwangaza was last month impeached by Meru MCAs, a decision that was later upheld by the Senate.

The move prompted her to move to court for orders to halt her removal.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye then suspended the Senate decision that upheld the impeachment and also restrained Speaker of the Senate Amason Kingi from publishing in the Kenya Gazette notice of a declaration of a vacancy in the office of the Governor of Meru.
