Court Dismisses Case That Sought Ruto's Impeachment CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Justice Anthony Mrima said Thursday while dismissing the case that the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit filed by Michael Kirungia.
"In Article 145, the Constitution provides for the process of impeachment. The process is squarely within Parliament, and it is a self-executing one. As such, the application suffers a false start. Simply put, there are no issues for determination by the Court," Mrima said."The Court cannot, therefore, assume jurisdiction. It lacks jurisdiction and it has to down its tools,' he said.
He argued that DP Ruto was illegally using public funds in conducting his own assignment of UDA meetings country wide for 2022 campaigns instead of"doing the function assigned to him by the President." Ruto on his part filed a preliminary objection on May 5, 2022, in response arguing that the suit herein"is incompetent and incurably defective both in form and in substance and is therefore untenable."
