Former High Court Judge Mary Ang'awa has challenged the decision by the Nairobi Club to expel her and two others from the club. Ang’awa, Jane Thirikali and Prof Joseph Kieyah have jointly sued the club and its CEO arguing that they were unlawfully expelled even though there was an order barring the club from doing so. They say that unless their membership is reinstated they will be disenfranchised and deprived of their fundamental rights of freedom of association. “Despite the order and in complete contravention of their rights to the membership of the club they were expelled as members and were denied access to the club by Askaris,” reads the court document. “The club has posted notice of our illegal expulsion on the Notice boards of the club and all affiliate clubs notifying the members that were are not welcome at the club,” the former judge claims.
