By JOSEPH WANGUIMore by this AuthorA Nyeri resident has sued Governor Mutahi Kahiga over the nomination of Dr Caroline Karugu as his deputy. SUPREME COURTThe court heard that Governor Kahiga filled the vacancy following an advisory opinion by the Supreme Court dated March 9, 2018 that paved way for governors to appoint deputies. "The petitioner in view of the foregoing submits that the pronouncement of the Supreme Court in its advisory opinion remains silent. "And having been issued three months after the vacancy arose in Nyeri, the said advisory cannot be applied retrogressively," Mr Muhoho argued. According to the March advisory opinion, a governor should fill the vacancy within 14 days.
