Prof Kithure Kindiki is set to wait longer for his much anticipated swearing-in as the three judge bench pushed the hearing of the ongoing court case to next week.
This is after the three High Court judge bench comprised of Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima and Frida Mugambi pushed the hearing for the lifting of the conservatory orders stopping the swearing in to Tuesday, October 29.
Justice Ogolla while reading the judgement, declined to set aside the conservatory orders that stopped the swearing-in of nominated Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
The judge, instead, announced that the court would decide whether to lift the orders on the aforementioned date.
"Given the pending application of the conservatory orders and those seeking to set aside the conservatory orders, we hereby direct as follows; the applications shall be deemed as responses for the conservatory orders. The set applications are thereby fixed for hearing on October 29 this month," noted Justice Ogolla.
Prof Kindiki supposed swearing in was brought to a screeching halt after the High Court in Kerugoya issued orders barring Kindiki from assuming the Office of the Deputy President.
In his order, Justice Richard Maruru noted that the matter was of great national importance and that the matter raised extremely substantial issues of law.
"That in light of the nature of the matters raised herein as noted in Order 3 herein, conservatory orders are hereby issued against the implementation of the resolution of the Senate in terms of prayer of the notice of motion, preventing any person including the 2nd interested party appointed by the president and approved by the National Assembly from assuming the Office of the Deputy President," the orders read in part.
