The Political Parties Disputes Resolution Tribunal has reinstated Masinga Central MCA Joshua Mwonga as Machakos County Assembly majority leader.
Muvuti MCA Timothy Kilonzo was also reinstated as majority whip pending the determination of an application filed by the two before the tribunal.
In orders communicated to the assembly by Speaker Bernard Mung’ata on Wednesday evening, the tribunal granted an interim injunction suspending a resolution by Cord on October 24.
Seventeen out of the 32 Cord MCAs signed for the removal of Mwonga and Kilonzo, a decision which had been communicated in the assembly on October 25.
They replaced Mwonga with Kivaa MCA Alexander Kathinzi, while Gideon Kavuu of Mumbuni North replaced Kilonzo.
The tribunal ordered that the application by the complainants be served immediately for interparty hearing on November 10.
