Mr Korir explained that holding the impeachment proceedings at this time will automatically prejudice Governor Waiguru's political rights as well as that of fair administration and hearing. “ I do not find merit in the claim that the motion be stopped because it lacks necessary threshold or that the process is in bad faith but because of the Covid19 pandemic.

Judge Korir further said he is confident that all public offices are reasonable enough to make proper decisions during crises while respecting the law.
