Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has suffered a major setback after the court declined to stop her impeachment.
Ngilu had moved to court on June 24 in a bid to obtain orders to bar the MCAs from tabling her impeachment motion.
Justice Weldon Korir on Thursday ruled that Ngilu's application had not met the threshold to grant her conservatory orders.
Judge Korir also noted that the petition was filed in Nairobi and not Kitui county.
"Impeachment of a governor is a kin to an election petition. It would therefore be advisable that any person desirous of filing a court case in respect to an impeachment should approach a high court within the county in which the impeachment is taking place," the court held.
Judge Korir said it's important for residents of the affected county to have access to the court where such proceedings are taking place.
