By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorNarok Senator Ledama ole Kina has obtained reprieve from being ousted from two key House committees after the High Court saved him from being de-whipped. Justice Weldon Korir ruled that unless the legislator is granted with the reprieve, his case will be overtaken by events hence his move to stop Mr ole Kina's removal from his coveted positions in two disputed committees. The judge directed that the sued parties be given copies of the filed case documents electronically before close of business today (Monday May 11). Mr ole Kina’s ouster comes after political differences between Deputy President William Ruto and Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga spilled over onto the floor of the Senate, threatening the leadership of CPAIC and the delegated legislation. He therefore wants the court to determine that he is entitled to a notice as well as fair hearing.
