High Court has barred Kiambu Deputy Governor James Nyoro from firing and shuffling county ministers pending determination of a petition filed by a resident.

In the  petition by Marion Njeri Njorogo, she claims Nyoro has been acting in violation of his powers.

In his ruling, Employment and Labour Relations judge Onesmus Makau said Nyoro should not violate provisions of Section 32 of the county government Act pending hearing of a case filed by a Kiambu resident.

The respondents in the case have been ordered to file their  responses in the case before inter- parties hearing on October 2.
