What you need to know:

  • The Kenyan court process is lengthy chiefly due to a shortage of judges.
  • Meru County is already witnessing protests by members of the public.

Immediately after the Senate upheld her impeachment, Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza obtained a court order suspending the Senate’s resolution until the case challenging her removal from office is heard by the High Court.

Should the court not decide in her favour, she can still appeal to the Court of Appeal, then to the Supreme Court.
