By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorA Kiambu resident who had obtained orders barring Deputy Governor James Nyoro from making changes in the Cabinet has withdrawn the petition. Ms Marion Njeri, the petitioner, did not give reasons for her action when she faced Justice Onesmus Makau on Friday. ARGUMENTSJustice Makau had barred Dr Nyoro from reshuffling any members of the county executive committee and chief officers, pending the hearing of the petition by Ms Njeri, a Kiambu voter. But Ms Njeri, through lawyer Nelson Masaviru, said that by reshuffling the cabinet, the deputy governor would be acting outside his mandate. ANOTHER CASEIn his ruling, Justice Makau said he would have dismissed the case as there is a pending matter before the High Court.
