Blow to Sonko as Supreme Court decision paves way for Kananu swearing-in
Blow to Mike Sonko after Supreme Court strikes out appeal case stopping Nairobi DG Ann Kananu from being sworn in as Governor
The Supreme Court has struck out an application by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko challenging the swearing-in of Anne Kananu as the next county chief.
On October 25, Supreme Court judge Mohammed Ibrahim directed the Assumption of Office of the county and the committee spearheading the process, to put on hold Kananu’s swearing in for 14 days to allow Sonko to argue his matter.
“We lack jurisdiction to entertain the application. Objections by the clerk, Nairobi county assembly, and county assembly sustained. Motion dated October 23 is incompetent and hereby struck out,” the court said
