Kidero back as Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony goes out!!!

Dr Evans Kidero: Reinstated by
Supreme Court a day after Court of
Appeal quashed his election. Prof
Paul Chepkwony: Impeached by 32
MCAs as his supporters keep away
from Chamber. Mr Ali Hassan Joho:
A Uganda higher education agency
has said his degree certificate was
a fraud.
Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony
on Wednesday became the second
county chief to be impeached as
the Supreme Court temporarily
reinstated Nairobi’s Evans Kidero
who lost a petition on Tuesday.
And in Mombasa, Governor Hassan
Joho is facing a major legal battle
after the Ugandan National Council
for Higher Education ruled that his
degree was obtained irregularly,
meaning that he could lose his
seat.
The law requires every governor to
be a university degree holder.
In Kericho, 32 MCAs voted to send
Prof Chepkwony home, barely
crossing the required threshold of
two-thirds of the assembly.
Fifteen members of the assembly,
who were against the removal of
Prof Chepkwony, did not turn up
for the debate and voting, which
was presided over by Speaker
Japheth Mutai.
In Nairobi, the Supreme Court on
Wednesday reversed Tuesday’s
nullification of Dr Kidero’s election
by the Court of Appeal. A single
judge suspended the execution of
the entire judgement of the
appellate court that had sent Dr
Kidero packing.
