Swearing-in of Anne Kananu Mwenda as Nairobi Governor has been suspended pending the hearing and determination of a suit filed by the Law Society of Kenya.
LSK filed an urgent suit Monday seeking to prevent Kananu from taking over as Nairobi Governor following the impeachment of Mike Mbuvi Sonko.
The temporary orders were granted by Justice Anthony Mrima, who set January 28, 2021, as the hearing date for the case.
According to the court papers, LSK wants the court to issue orders requiring a by-election within the 60-days legal timeline as provided for under Article 182 (5). LSK moved to court as Kananu took office as the Nairobi deputy governor.
