Opponents of Lamu Governor Issa Timamy have launched a new campaign to remove him from office even as he awaits the decision of the Supreme Court following a petition filed to challenge his victory in the March 4 2013 elections.

Mr Timamy's opponents, who include many members of the county assembly, have launched a multi-pronged strategy to get rid of him.
