The expected swearing-in of Deputy President designate Kithure Kindiki has been pushed to next week following Yesterday’s Court order blocking the same.
The ceremony was expected to take place at the Uhuru Gardens on Saturday from 10 am.
However, there is little activity going on at the grounds. Plans to have Kindiki take the oath of office were at an advanced stage, as of Friday.
Insiders say the decision follows the conservatory orders issued on Friday suspending the appointment of a new Deputy President.
The DP designate will now have to wait until the orders are vacated, for the process to continue.
Justice Chacha Mwita halted the appointment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s successor until October 24, long after Kindiki had been approved by the MPs.
