High Court Blocks Formation of Raila's People's Assembly

The High Court has issued orders blocking all county assemblies from passing or adopting a motion by National Super Alliance (NASA) seeking the creation of People’s Assembly.

On Monday, Kitui High Court judge Justice Lilian Mutende granted temporary conservatory orders barring the county assemblies from passing the motion, pending the hearing and determination of a case filed by a lobby group dubbed Counties Development Group.

“An order is hereby issued restraining the 4th – 50th respondents and the members of the county assemblies from constituting a special college for the appointment of election members, delegations and observers of the People’s Assembly,” the order reads.

Counties Development Group are seeking to have Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) stopped from implementing the motion to create the assemblies by the opposition coalition. Justice Mutende’s order will be in force until January 28th, 2018 when an inter-party hearing will be held.

However, Nasa Chief Executive Officer Norman Magaya dismissed the order as “hopeless”, saying that the opposition will ignore the directive and continue with their plan to create the forums.

“That is a hopeless order. The order is defective and is not capable of being enforced. It cannot be served on anyone, if anything it has been overtaken by events because the peoples assemblies are already under way,” Mr Magaya said during a TV interview.

The lobby group has listed Attorney-General, the Senate, the National Assembly and Kitui County Assembly as the first, second, third and fourth respondents, respectively.

    Why did it take soo long for this idiocy to be stopped in its track? This should also be a clue, judge mwangi or maina did not stop this, it was judge Mutende. Sorry, other tribes are not going to follow you like goats, they have a brain, they have seen the head lunatic in action and they are not impressed.

    Which high court? Do you mean the one that made a seriously flawed and fake election valid? As far as I am concerned, the legitimacy of the high court ended yesterday!

      That being the case then the National government should pull all law enforcement from those NASA strongholds and withhold all financial support to the same.Nasa can pay for its security, maintain their schools, pay their teachers and keep up with roads.

    This one million name guy, I will call him latest Joshua for now is a wealth drainer to his following. The new constitution was formed with his help ostensibly to rid the presidential favors in matters development in economic and social mobility. But yet i get dismayed to hear that that the country have to be going for same change every election year. We got to understand that we all intent to win in whatever contest but also we have to anticipate the fact that there will be a looser. It’s not a predicament to loose. It’s part of the game. Elections are done on numbers. It’s not about tribal disparity or tribal presidential rotation. Because the construction does not envisage such a situation. Constitutions are put in place to guard any execess that affect each one of us. It’s not made to favor any individual. The supreme Court ruling on August elections should be respected in the same way as was made on the November vote. We cannot have it both ways.
