Court upholds Mwangaza’s stay in office pending final ruling

Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has received a significant legal victory after the High Court extended orders that block the Senate’s decision to impeach her. On Wednesday, December 18, High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye ruled that Mwangaza’s application met the necessary threshold for extending the orders. This ruling allows her to remain in office pending the final determination of her case.

Judge Mwamuye upheld the conservatory orders that had been issued earlier, rejecting a request from the Senate to lift them. If the Senate’s application had been granted, it would have resulted in Mwangaza’s removal from office. In his decision, Judge Mwamuye emphasized the public interest at stake, stating, “The public interest, as it applies to the people of Meru County and the wider people of Kenya, would be best served by the confirmation and extension of the interim conservatory orders pending the expedited hearing and determination of the petition.”

The court further highlighted the potential disruptions a leadership vacuum could cause in Meru County, noting that it would lead to significant public costs if a gubernatorial succession were triggered and later reversed if Mwangaza’s case succeeded. “Refusing to confirm and extend those orders would trigger a gubernatorial succession in Meru County, which, if the petition succeeds, would need to be undone at great public cost,” Judge Mwamuye added.

Mwangaza expressed her relief and gratitude after the ruling, shedding tears as she thanked both God and the court. “I am so happy today. I want to thank our courts and our people for their support. For the days we have been given, we will comply with the courts. I believe that whatever God has given to a person, no one can take it from them,” she said.

As part of the ruling, the judge confirmed the extension of the conservatory orders for 120 days, during which Mwangaza will continue to serve as the Governor of Meru County. The final judgment on the matter is expected to be delivered before the expiration of the 120 days.
