Petitioners in court seeking removal of Lorna Muthoni as Kiambaa CDF boss

In the case, Richard Mulwa Musyoka, Richard Nzine, Nicholas Michael and Elizabeth Mumbi petitioned the court to have Lorna Muthoni Njoroge removed from office, saying that she is unfit to serve.

"Lorna Muthoni Njoroge is unfit to hold public office as she engages in behaviour that places her office into contempt, disrepute because of abuse of public office and public trust," reads the petition. 

Through lawyer Shadrack Wambui, the four petitioners say that she is allegedly engaging in nepotism.

"She is engaged in acts of nepotism ...we have raised the matter before this court ...there has not been any action taken against her with relevant authorities," the court was told.

However, Lorna has filed a preliminary objection saying that the court has no jurisdiction to hear the petition adding that it is premature.

"The application and the petition are mere schemes to perpetrate smear campaigns in an attempt to malign the second respondent name," reads the application.

Further she says that the petitioners have been hired and are representing her estranged husband as indicated in the witness statement filed in court.

She now wants the application dismissed.

Justice Byrum Ongaya directed that the matter be mentioned in May for further directions.
