A court has reinstated all the ten departmental committee members of the Kirinyaga County Assembly, who had been removed on July 31, which is a blow to the attempt by Governor Anne Waiguru to take control of the operations at the County Assembly.

Justice Lucy Gitari, while reinstating the officials, ruled that the orders be served to the County Assembly, County Clerk and the Attorney General, who had been named by the applicants as the respondents.
