On December 20, 2019, the Court of Appeal delivered a significant ruling in a case involving three governors facing corruption charges.
Justices of the Court of Appeal ruled that elected executives cannot continue attending office when facing corruption-related charges.
As a result, governors Moses Lenolkulal (Samburu), Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu), and Mike Sonko (Nairobi) were barred from accessing their offices.
The ruling was a direct outcome of a High Court decision made by Justice Mumbi Ngugi, which was upheld by the Court of Appeal.
