Published on September 18, 2019, Thirdway Alliance has taken the Kirinyaga County Assembly and its speaker to court over the rejection of the Punguza Mizigo Bill.
The party, led by Dr. Ekuru Aukot, claims that the county assembly of Kirinyaga on September 10 used an unlawful process to reject the bill.
According to the party, the county assembly 'breached their constitutional rights and those of Kirinyaga constituents.'
Thirdway Alliance is seeking the court's intervention to quash the decision and compel the county assembly to conduct a public participation exercise on the bill.
The party also wants the court to order the reintroduction of the bill in the assembly within five days for a fresh voting exercise.
