Friday, January 17, 2025 - The case challenging the appointment of Kithure Kindiki as the Deputy President of Kenya has taken a new twist.
This is after the High Court
referred the case to Chief Justice Martha Koome to constitute a bench that will
hear and determine the matter.
CJ Koome is now expected to
constitute a bench that will hear and determine the matter which Justice Bahati
Mwamunye believes raises key questions.
According to Mwamuye, the
petitioner Joseph Enoch Aura raised some weighty issues in his detailed
petition which need the scrutiny and mind of more than one judge.
"I hereby certify the
amended petition as such. I also note that it delves into issues pending before
a three-judge bench of the High Court. Consequently, this file is to be placed
before the CJ for empanelment," Justice Bahati Mwamuye stated.
In November, Enoch Aura
filed a 215-page petition at the Milimani High Court detailing why
Kindiki's appointment as Rigathi Gachagua's replacement in the Deputy
President's seat was unconstitutional.
Since Kindiki replaced Gachagua
as President Ruto's number two, the cabinet has experienced a dramatic shake-up
at the expense of some key leaders.
