A legal challenge to the appointment of Edward Oringe Waswa as Bungoma County Attorney has been withdrawn, effectively clearing the path for him to assume the role.

The petition, filed by Tome Francis and Peter Nabiriki at the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Kakamega, was dropped on Monday. The petitioners cited contradictions within the County Attorney Act that complicated their ability to sustain the case.
