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.

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.

Lol! the address can indeed always be changed.

Sonko is very bright to run the city without a deputy gov. They are hyenas waiting for the meat to fall down.

The court is yet to hear the case and rule whether waititi abused his office and used it for personal enrichment. The judge should go mos mos. Seems she got carried away by public opinion and politics though I am happy she said this as her personal opinion, an AOB, and not part of the ruling. Just because someone is charged in court doesn't mean one is guilty. It's the duty of the prosecution to convince the court that the person is guilty and the charged must also be given an opportunity to defend himuselefu.

The problem with this Kenyan TV lawyers is, they think they are smarter than everybody around. What would it take to walk to Mumbi's chamber and ask this simple question, "Madam, ulimaanisha nini". Better still, knowing how dumb Waititu is, they can always advice him to go back to the Kiambu offices and then sit silently and wait. They have nothing to lose.

MCAs plotting an impeachment motion...

Then you remember we've been there with Wambora
