President William Ruto’s lawyer, Katwa Kigen, recently faced a setback as a court declined to halt the impeachment motion against Kisii Deputy Governor Dr. Robert Monda. Kigen, who represents the Deputy Governor, had sought to block the Kisii County Assembly from expediting the motion. The court documents stated that the application was of utmost urgency, emphasizing the potential irreparable injury Dr. Monda could face if the impeachment process proceeded.
Despite Kigen’s efforts, the judge ruled against granting a barring of the case, stating that Dr. Monda would not suffer any prejudice if the motion proceeded to a hearing. This decision was made on the grounds that Dr. Monda’s constitutional rights to a fair trial would not be compromised by allowing the impeachment process to continue.
Dr. Monda is now expected to appear before the Kisii County Assembly for the impeachment case hearing within the week. This ongoing situation has revealed a growing discord within the Kisii County Government, with Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) divided over Dr. Monda’s impeachment. A previous House session saw MCAs engaging in a brawl after the Speaker referred the motion, with disagreements over the validity of the motion.
The allegations against Dr. Monda include abuse of office claims and violation of the constitution within his capacity as Deputy Governor. Dr. Monda has denied these allegations, maintaining his innocence amidst the political turmoil. The photo included in the article shows the Deputy Governor of Kisii County, Robert Monda, highlighting the individual at the center of the impeachment motion.
The tension within the Kisii County Assembly is evident, as different factions within the MCAs continue to clash over the impeachment proceedings. The controversy surrounding Dr. Monda’s case underscores the challenges faced by public officials in navigating political turmoil and legal battles. The photo of delegates at the Kisii County Assembly Building captures the intensity of the situation, with individuals actively involved in the decision-making process surrounding Dr. Monda’s fate.
As the legal battle continues and the impeachment motion moves forward, all eyes are on the Kisii County Assembly and the outcome of Dr. Monda’s hearing. The complex dynamics at play within the government reflect a larger trend of political strife and power struggles that characterize the current landscape of Kenyan politics. The outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications for Dr. Monda, President Ruto, and the broader political landscape of Kisii County.
