Embattled Taita Taveta Governor Graton Samboja has up to Monday next week to know his fate after the High Court ruled last week to temporarily stop his impeachment.
Justice Weldon Korir has directed lawyers representing the Senate and Taita County Assembly to appear before him on October 28 for further directions.
He issued the order in a case in which Mr Samboja through lawyer Nelson Havi has asked the High Court to consider “the wider interests of the thousands of residents who will be exposed and affected by the decision to remove me from office.”

Mr Samboja had sought conservatory orders to stop further deliberation of the motion by the Senate, as recommended and forwarded by the County Assembly.
