Impeached Kisumu County Assembly Speaker Ann Adul will remain in the cold for a little longer until September when the Court of Appeal will determine her fate.
A three judge Court of Appeal bench listening to the case challenging her reinstatement said it will deliver the final judgement on September 25.
The case was heard on Wednesday morning by Justice Daniel Musinga, David Maraga and Agnes Murgor.
During the proceedings issues were raised as to whether the new County Assembly clerk was qualified to preside over the Kisumu County Assembly sessions.
Lawyer Eric Ojuro who represented the county executive questioned whether the new clerk, Eliud Owen Ojuok, had graduated from the University of Nairobi despite having pending resits.
But Mr Oner who was representing Eluid Owen Ojuok said that his client is qualified as clerk.
"My client Mr Owen is qualified. The letters from the dean's office at University of Nairobi states he did pay for the resit and sat for the exams," said Mr Oner.
Mr Okong'o Omogeni, who was representing the county executive, urged the court of appeal to consider the conduct of Speaker Ann Adul who stormed out of the county sessions and hid the mace, a symbol of authority.
Omogeni said that the industrial court had no jurisdiction to make a judgement on the impeachment of Speaker Ann Adul.
He said that the constitution is clear on the election and removal of the speaker adding that the industrial court had no mandate to rule on the matter.
Ms Adul, who was impeached in October 2014, was in January 2015 reinstated by the Employment and Labour Relations Court following what it said was her unprocedural impeachment.
