Kenya: Civil Society Welcomes Supreme Court Verdict Upholding Sonko's Impeachment

The civil society group said in a statement to newsrooms, that the court acted in accordance with the goals and objectives of the 2010 constitution which set high standards for those seeking public office.

Churchill said the court's decision that the constitution was not adopted for just cosmetic purposes gave fresh impetus to efforts to secure adherence to the rule of law and a reminder to Kenyans not to lose sight of the integrity required of those aspiring to positions of leadership. Churchill urged Kenyans to reject candidates with tainted records as the only way to ensure accountable leaders ascend to public office.

On Friday, the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by Mike Sonko against his impeachment as Nairobi Governor stating that due process was followed.
