why is the poor lady being sacrificed?  did she refuse to part with goods?
or this is the plan to sneak Kinuthia mbugua in through the senate path?

Lol this little thug wanted to have her cake and eat it too
Laboso is an mp so she is in the clear

This sounds like nonsense. She is not senator yet. Standing for seat doesn't mean you hold two jobs. So all the senators running for governor are in violation of the law.

The key here is if she running to a member of national Assembly. If she then she has to resign public office in the county assembly. She failed to do so and that is why her nomination has been nullified. Her mistake is serious because she may have committed perjury too. Iebc hasn't lost any case yet. So on this one I am with tribunal they have read the law.

I thought there was ruling that allowed public officer to stay on.

I think civil servant doesn't need to resign 6 months before. However must resign once nominated or before they present papers before iebc. I am told now civil servants take extended leave and leave a tentative letter of resignation with hr. Once nominated they resign if not the come back

Okay I now get it. Does speaker qualifies as public servant. If yes - then Kihika is done.

I state officer or public officer

It is crap. She is holding a political office. The County Government has not been dissolved and will not be until after elections when a new government is formed.

However if there is something I have missed, then she is not the only one.
