What began as a routine tweet from Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale, expressing his excitement about Kithure Kindiki’s swearing-in as deputy president, unexpectedly backfired on him.
What Verdict did court make on Kindiki’s swearing-in?
Kithure Kindiki, recognized primarily for his role as the country’s Interior Cabinet Secretary, received a boost when a three-judge panel comprising Justices Antony Mrima, Eric Ogola, and Freda Mugambi lifted the orders that had barred him from replacing Rigathi Gachagua
Gachagua, through his legal representatives, contended that President William Ruto illegally nominated Kindiki, as he had not yet resigned from his position in the Ministry of Interior
In their verdict, the three-judge panel emphasized that the country can no longer be without a deputy president, underscoring the necessity for Kindiki’s swearing-in.
