Ousted Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu’s deputy Dr James Nyoro has finally been sworn in as the third governor of Kiambu County.

Kiambu Chief Magistrate Patriciah Gichohi was the Master of Ceremony for the day and led proceedings.

High Court Judge John Oyiengo administered the oath of office at the ceremony attended by various leaders from Kiambu and beyond.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly a day after Nyoro’s scheduled swearing-in on Thursday, January 30 failed to take off as Oyiengo noted that organizers of the ceremony had failed to comply with various constitutional provisions.

The court on Thursday declined to grant Waititu orders to stop the swearing in of Nyoro as the new county chief.

Waititu on Thursday morning moved to Milimani Law Courts where he sought the orders and filed a suit challenging the senate’s majority vote to endorse his impeachment.

Waititu, argued that the Senate did not properly evaluate the impeachment motion forwarded from the County Assembly in December last year, that voted to send him parking over abuse of office and other charges.
