Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko can breathe a sigh of relief following the extension of stay orders on the case pertaining to his impeachment motion. As a result, the interim stay orders were extended until October 15, 2020. In March, the High Court stopped an impeachment motion against Sonko that was filed by Makongeni MCA Peter Imwatok, who is also the Minority Chief Whip. Justice Byrum Ongaya had ruled that the motion shall not proceed until it is filed in compliance with the Standing Orders of the County Assembly. However, on Monday the court suspended the gazettement of Gichana after Jacob Ngwele went to court to obtain orders.
