Mr Wambora and his deputy David Kariuki will pay him Sh1 million. The judgment sparked wild celebrations among Mr Kivuti’s supporters, while Mr Wambora said he would appeal the court’s decision. Mr Wambora, who was represented by lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi, applied for a copy of the judgment to enable him to file an appeal. Mr Wambora became the first governor to be impeached when, in 2014, he faced twin impeachments following a fallout with county politicians.
