What you need to know:

  • Ms Chege, who was nominated to Parliament by Jubilee, fears that the recommendation by the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party to have her removed will infringe on her fundamental rights
  • Mr Khaemba says in the appeal that Ms Chege is gravely dissatisfied with the ruling which declined to prohibit her removal from the position of deputy minority whip
  • Mr Khaemba is now urging the court to grant the orders sought by her client arguing it has the original jurisdiction to interpret the law as provided for in Article 165 (3) (d) of the Constitution

Nominated MP Sabina Chege (Jubilee Party) has gone to court to block her removal as deputy minority whip in the National Assembly.

In an urgent application filed by the Association of Friends of Youth and Women (AFYW), Ms Chege, whom the breakaway faction in the former ruling party recognises as the party leader, is asking the High Court to intervene before a decision to remove her from the position is implemented.
