On August 5, 2020, a Kenyan court delivered a significant blow to Jacob Ngwele's tenure as Assembly Clerk, suspending him from office in a move that has been hailed as a victory for Speaker Beatrice Elachi.
The court's decision is seen as a major win for Speaker Elachi, who has been at odds with Ngwele over various issues. The exact reasons behind the court's ruling are not immediately clear, but the outcome is a significant development in the ongoing power struggle between the two.
Ngwele's suspension is a major setback for his supporters, who had been rallying behind him in the face of opposition from Speaker Elachi. The move is likely to have far-reaching implications for the Assembly and its leadership.
