In a ruling issued by the High Court on Thursday, November 25, the court set aside the determination of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal that allowed the removal of Mwaura from the Senate.
The court, in its ruling, argued that the Tribunal did not offer the Senator fair hearing and hence the decision to strike him off the list of senators was wrong, unlawful and unjust.
The court also found the decision by the ruling Jubilee Party's National Disciplinary Committee did not follow due process and was unlawful.
Justice J.K. Sergon further quashed a gazette notice replacing Mwaura in the Senate.
"The deregistration of the appellant by the Tribunal made on March 29, 2021 and the gazette notice dated May 10,2021 and the gazette notice dated May 11, 2021, issued by the Speaker of the Senate, Kenneth Lusaka and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) respectively are hereby quashed and set aside hence are of no effect and cannot confer any rights. Costs of the appeal are given to the appellant (Mwaura)," read part of the ruling.
