The High Court has dismissed a petition seeking to remove two members of the Machakos County Assembly Service Board (CASB). The court ruled that the petitioner failed to follow the proper legal procedure for removal.

• The petitioner, Nahashon Wambua Muinde, argued that the continued stay of external members Alex Nyamai Kitili and Janet Mwikali Kimeu was unlawful after their terms allegedly expired in September 2024.
• The respondents successfully argued that the High Court lacked jurisdiction as the petitioner should have first lodged a removal petition before the Machakos County Assembly.
• The court warned against premature judicial intervention in disputes that can be resolved through existing legal and administrative channels, citing the principle of exhaustion of remedies and separation of powers.
