AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Jubilee Party has been stopped from firing nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura.<\/p>\n

In a statement dated Tuesday, March 30, the court directed that the party, headed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, should\u00a0refrain from firing the senator\u00a0until a case he had filed is heard and determined.<\/p>\n

Mwaura sued the Jubilee Party as well as the Registrar of Political Parties after his expulsion from the ruling political party.<\/p>\n

“The applicant under certificate of urgency is seeking a stay of execution of the orders of the political parties tribunal dated March 26, 2021. I have considered the application, the supporting affidavit, further affidavit and the annextures and I find the matter to be urgent.<\/p>\n

“There shall be stay of execution of the impugned orders until the hearing of the application,” read the statement in part<\/p>\n

The appellant was also ordered to supply the application to the two respondents.<\/p>\n

This comes hours after reports indicated that Mwaura’s name had been removed from the list of Jubilee Party members by the Registrar of Political Parties.<\/p>\n

The woes began for the Senator after Jubilee Party’s national chair Nelson Dzuya complained that he had been disloyal.<\/p>\n

Nduya claimed that the lawmaker had shifted his\u00a0allegiance to the United to Democratic Alliance (UDA) despite being nominated by the Jubilee Party.<\/p>\n

Mwaura was subsequently grilled by the party’s disciplinary committee over the claims before resulting in his expulsion.<\/p>\n

Separately, the fate of five other nominated senators is still hanging in the balance after\u00a0they were shown the door by the ruling party.<\/p>\n

The senators who include Milicent Omanga,\u00a0Mary Seneta, Falhada Iman, Naomi Waqo, and Victor Prengei were accused of\u00a0going against the party’s tribunal.<\/p>\n

The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal\u00a0upheld the decision by the Jubilee party’s national management committee after deliberating on the reports by the party’s disciplinary committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
