The High Court in Nairobi has dismissed a petition seeking to bar National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi from engaging in political activities, ruling that the case had been filed prematurely.
The court found that the petitioners, Vocal Africa, failed to first pursue the dispute through the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission as required under the Leadership and Integrity Act before seeking judicial intervention.
The court further found that the petitioners had failed to demonstrate how the two Speakers had breached Chapter Six of the Constitution, the Leadership and Integrity Act or the Conflict of Interest Act.
