Justice Mumbi’s ruling is a very positive move towards fighting graft and I fully support her but there are glaring loopholes. Governor’s Office refers to the physical County offices while Office Of The Governor refers to the Powers and Roles vested on the governor by the constitution. Those powers can be invoked by the governor while he is in his bedroom or in the toilet as long as he has not been impeached, resigned or died in office.
I am not supporting Waititi I wish he could get hanged today but the current ruling is prone to abuse. Anyone can come and say that Governor or CS ABC has raped a tea girl and they bribe the tea girl with 1 million Shillings to file a case so that a governor steps aside

Some functions require Governor’s signature and until the constitution is amended to state that the Deputy can assume those powers the governors remain in charge hata akiwa on trial.
Why wasn’t the same argument brought out when Rotich and Thugge were barred from their offices.
They too could work as CS and PS respectively from the comfort of their bedrooms.
Some arguments are shallow, hollow, defeatist, hair splitting and unnecessary.

Because Thugge and Rotich are appointed. Parliament cannot come up with a law to remove judges - the constitution already provides for it. The constitution also provides on how a governor or MP is to leave office.
