Court allows swearing-in of Anne Kananu as Nairobi Governor


The Appellate court has finally cleared the way for deputy governor Anne Kananu to be sworn in as Nairobi’s third governor.

A three-judge bench on Friday noted that the former governor, Mike Sonko, has been out of office for over 10 months and is such no longer the county boss.

The court also ruled that should Sonko’s appeal be successful and it is found that his political rights were indeed violated, then he can be paid for damages.

While dismissing Sonko’s petition dated June 29, 2021, in which he sought to bar Kananu from taking office, the court ruled that it was without merit.

The court declared that the application did not meet the threshold set for such applications under the rules of the Court of Appeal.
