Kenya's Deputy President's legal team challenges Governor Orengo's ability to represent the National Assembly due to a conflict of interest, citing Article 260.

Kenya's Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's legal team has challenged Governor James Orengo's ability to represent the National Assembly, citing a conflict of interest due to Orengo's status as a full-time state officer. They reference Article 260 of the constitution, which prohibits such dual roles. The team argues that this could prejudice Gachagua in ongoing legal proceedings, and Speaker Amason Kingi has ordered Gachagua to respond to charges before addressing the objection.
