Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza was handed another 120 days in office by a Nairobi High Court.

This being a major lifeline for her, on Wednesday, December 18, the High Court upheld conservatory orders barring her impeachment from office.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye, ruled that the embattled governor should continue serving in her capacity as Meru governor because there cannot be a leadership vacuum in the area since such a move could interfere with service delivery.

“I shall in this ruling confirm and extend the interim (conservatory) orders for a period of 120 days from the date hereof and in that time, the petitioner shall continue to serve as the governor of Meru county with a provision that a judgement in this matter may be rendered before the lapse of those 120 days on the date hereof,” Judge Mwamuye ruled.

The judge stated that the decision to uphold the orders issued by the High Court in Meru allowed Mwangaza to continue discharging her gubernatorial duties before the full and final hearing and determination is ruled.
