City lawyer Lempaa Suyianka has moved to court seeking orders to block the government from spending public funds campaigning for Raila Odinga in the race for African Union Commission chairperson.

In a petition filed at the High Court, Mr Suyianka and the African Centre for Peace and Human Rights further wants the court to issue a declaration that spending public finance and resources on Mr Odinga’s candidature is a violation of Article 201 (a) and (d) of the constitution.
