A court has dismissed a request by impeached Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to have a decision to allow vetting of the county's deputy governor nominee to proceed stayed. This is after Justice Anthony Mrima on Friday dismissed applications by activist Okiyah Omtatah and Habil Kongo seeking to stop the vetting of Deputy Governor nominee Anne Kananu. Omtatah had asked the court to suspend its decision to allow them appeal the matter at the Appellate court. Nyamu said he cannot file a formal application to arrest a process that is set to proceed at 11am. The best way forward is for Sonko to file a formal application.
