The term 'office' in this case does not refer to a physical place. It refers to the 'functions' that go with the office. You are right that Sonko was 'running' Nairobi from Mua hills since it's not about the physical place.

Actually we are going too far in interpretation.

The ruling by Mumbi was specifically on the legality of the constitutionality of keeping state officials in their place of work on moral issues such as corruption. She ruled that particular section of the act was unconstitutional.

As we stand any law that violates this principle is by fact unconstitutional.

She wasn't ruling on whether governors were to be called governors when charged. She ruled on a constitutional issue.

To over turn that ruling you have to go to the Court of Appeal and I'm sure they will not touch that ruling.

Ipso facto. The problem are all these ACTS of Mpigs that have effectively been watering down the constitution.

As to whether Waititu is still governor etc, that's now for the Mpigs to fix with an act of gov't. Otherwise it is now unconstitutional for a conman to continue RUINING counties on the basis of a flawed law that Mpigs have been using to remain in power.

I think that is what the Waititu judge said over and over again.

Lawyers are free to interpret. That's how they make their money. By obfuscating and pontificating.

Are you already judging him yet he has not been heard?

The lawyers agree with me.

I agree with the grand mulla

I completely disagree with this lawyer and agree with @limanika. When a public officer is interdicted what it effectively means is that the officer cannot discharge his or her duties until that time he/she is cleared of wrong doing. In addition such officers are given only half their salary for the entire period of interdiction. During this period an officer should not report to work, issue official instructions, sign or authorize anything. What in effect it does is to bar him/her from "office" which is not necessarily the physical space. To purport that this ruling applies to access to the physical office is a completely misleading view.

QUOTE
The judge wondered why Kenyans have legislative authority, which they have delegated under Article 1 to the legislature and who passed Section 62(6) of the Anti-corruption and Economic Crimes Act to allow State officers whose removal is provided for in the Constitution to remain in the offices they have abused and used it for personal enrichment to the detriment of the public they are supposed to serve and to continue serving while undergoing prosecution.

ABUSE OF OFFICE

She reasoned that a county governor, to whom Article 10 and Chapter Six apply, is charged with abuse of office, adding that he is basically charged with enriching himself at the expense of the people.

"Would it serve the public interest for him to go back to office and preside over the finances of the county that he has been charged with embezzling?" the judge posed.
