The court also stopped Deputy Governor Anne Kananu Mwenda from being sworn in as the governor, pending the determination of a case filed by Law Society of Kenya (LSK). He said the resignation was not communicated to the Speaker of the assembly as required by the Constitution. He says neither Mr Sonko nor the Speaker acknowledged his letter. The Nairobi governor’s position fell vacant after Mr Sonko was impeached by the County Assembly and the decision endorsed by Senate. The County Speaker Benson Mutura was made the acting governor, pending the election of the substantive holder.
