Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo got a reprieve on Friday after the High Court in Meru affirmed an earlier order barring the County Assembly from proceeding with the impeachment motion.
Guyo was impeached on Thursday after all 16 MCAs present endorsed the motion tabled by Sericho MCA Abubakar Godana.
Justice Heston Mbogo, in a virtual court, on Friday said a conservatory order issued on June 23 was still in force and any action by the Assembly was in contempt.
“The orders dated June 25, 2025 are still in force. Any acts by the respondents or any other party, in defiance of the court order, shall be null and void.
The orders shall remain in force until they are set aside by the court,” Justice Mbogo said.
The governor filed a petition and obtained orders against the County Assembly of Isiolo, the Speaker and clerk on the impeachment motion dated June 18.
On Friday, Hassan’s lawyers Eric Theuri and Elias Mutuma filed a contempt of court application against the Speaker and the Clerk.
Justice Mbogo ordered the Speaker and the clerk to appear in court in person, on Monday next week to respond to the allegations of contempt of court.
This is after their legal counsel Ekuru Aukot, Paul Wafula, Alex Mbaya and Boniface Mwereru avoided to respond to whether the County Assembly had adhered to the court order.
The lawyers also sought to make an application for recusal of the judge and stay of proceedings.
