What you need to know:

  • The petition, filed by the Law Society of Kenya on April 15, 2024, seeks orders declaring Governor Kihika unfit to hold public office.
  • Attempts by the county government to have the case struck out for lack of jurisdiction failed after the court declined to grant the application.

Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika will have to wait longer to know her fate after the court postponed the judgment in a case seeking her removal from office.

While adjourning the judgment, which had been scheduled for delivery on Wednesday, the judge said the ruling is not ready and that more time is needed to finalise writing it.
