Holding

The court declines to grant conservatory orders and finds that the petition as it stands does not directly deal with the events that occurred at the county assembly.

Facts

The petitioner/applicant filed a notice of motion application seeking conservatory orders to prevent deliberation on a motion for the removal of the petitioner as Nairobi City County Governor.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has satisfied the requirements for grant of a conservatory order pending the hearing and determination of the petition.
  2. Whether the court has jurisdiction to enjoin the 6th respondent and determine any dispute between the two.

Reasoning

The court finds that the application for joinder of the 6th respondent was not granted and the proposed amendments to the petition were not deemed granted. The court also notes that the petition does not directly address the events that occurred at the county assembly.

The court declines to grant conservatory orders.
