High Court has extended orders suspending Meru Governor, Kawira Mwangaza’s impeachment
Justice Bahati Mwamuye sitting at Milimani High Court today ruled that Mwangaza’s application has met the threshold required for the extension of the orders legally keeping her in office as the Meru County Governor.
“The respondent’s notice of motion is dismissed, ex-party orders are confirmed and extended for a period of 120 days and at that time she will continue to serve as the Governor,” Justice Mwamuye ruled.
The court further noted that public interest warrants the extension of the orders, adding that there’s if the orders are not extended then the petition will be rendered nugatory if Mwangaza wins the case.
The case will now proceed on December 20, 2024.
