Nakuru activist Laban Omusundi has filed a lawsuit against the Clerk of the National Assembly Samuel Njoroge for failing to accept his petition seeking the censure of Speaker Moses Wetang'ula.
Omusundi argues that Njoroge erred by denying him his constitutional right as a Kenyan to petition the National Assembly.
He wants the High Court in Nakuru to declare that Standing Orders 87(1) of the National Assembly is null and void, claiming it contradicts the constitution.
He notes that the standing orders deny him and the general public the right to petition as enshrined in Articles 37 and 119(1) of the constitution.
