On July 9, 2020, the High Court in Kenya made a significant ruling that will see the planned impeachment of Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu proceed.
Ngilu had filed a petition in court challenging the planned impeachment, but her case was dismissed by Justice Weldon Korir, who ruled that it lacked merit.
The judge had previously issued conservatory orders stopping the impeachment process, but this ruling has paved the way for the County Assembly to proceed with the motion to impeach Ngilu.
Ngilu had argued that tabling the motion would violate her constitutional rights, but the court has now dismissed her case.
