KAJIADO COUNTY GOVERNOR CASE

Kajiado  County might have to wait for while before they elect a govenor if a case lodged by a voter succeeds. Jackson Tatao Pashile moved to court seeking to put off the elections of the Gurbernatorial  seat till the pending cases in court are heard and determined. Pashile claims a candidate vying on the URP ticket Nina Daniel Mpute’s academic qualification was questionable. Adding that Mpute ‘s alleged degree  from Catholic University was fake. Pashile added that the  Catholic University in a letter written to them had confirmed  that the degree was fake and declined to have been issued on 5th October 2012. At the same time the running mate of ODM’s govenor Paul Ntiati  is alleged to have been a civil servant and had declined to resign from office in accordance with the law. They allege Ntiati was a Non Governmental Organization co-ordination board member by september 3rd last year and had not resigned. High court judge, Justice Isaac Lenaola directed the case be heard before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal led by Peter Simani on Wednesday. This case comes barely a month after the High court nullified the nomination of TNA’s candidate for Kajiado county, Josiah Taraiya Ole Kores’s  and the IEBC directed to remove his name from the list of candidates. The ruling was made by a 3-Judge bench which found that the alleged Degree certificate produced by Kores was not recognized by the Commission of Higher Education (CHE).
