A fresh case has been filed to kick out the Speaker of the National Assembly for ruling Kenya Kwanza is the majority party despite court orders saying otherwise.
The petitioners, led by Kenneth Njagi Njiru, want the High Court to find that Moses Wetang'ula cannot continue sitting as Speaker as he allegedly overturned the High Court's judgment by declaring that Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Coalition Party remains the minority party in the lower house.
According to lawyer Kibe Mungai, the Speaker continued to advance the ruling administration's agenda even after the court ruled that he could not hold the position or be Ford Kenya and Kenya Kwanza's leader. "Bearing in mind the finding of this Honourable Court that the 4th Respondent cannot simultaneously hold the position of Speaker of the National Assembly on the one hand and the position of leader of Ford-Kenya party and member of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition Leaders Party Summit and member of its parliamentary group, the ruling delivered on 12 February 2025 is unlawful null and void ab initio," argued Kibe.
He urged the court to find that all the proceedings in the house, after the judgment, are null and void.
