Mwengi Mutuse celebrates after court lifts stay orders against Kindiki’s swearing-in: “Swear to him”

  • The motion to remove Rigathi Gachagua from the post of his Vice President was sponsored in the National Assembly by Kibwezi MP Mwengi Mutuse
  • The lawmaker was impressed by the Supreme Court’s decision to lift the orders halting the process of replacing the deposed vice president.
  • Mutuse said the court ruling underlined parliament’s findings that Gachagua did not deserve to hold office, and therefore called for the immediate installation of Kithure Kindiki as the new second-in-command.
