Governors are planning to move to court to have their colleagues who are facing various criminal charges allowed to continue serving until their cases are heard and determined.
The Council of Governors has said it will challenge a ruling that requires them to step aside once charged with crimes.
In a sign of growing discontent over the ruling by Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi that locked Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu from his office on July 24, 2019, the CoG wants the decision overturned.
Speaking in Nairobi on Monday, CoG chair and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya announced the move, saying it had adversely affected operations in three counties.
“As a matter of common interest, the county governments will urgently move to court over the ruling as has been witnessed in the cases of Kiambu, Samburu and Nairobi counties,” he said.
