Kenyans have suffered a huge blow after the Senate rejected a petition that was pushing for a legal framework allowing citizens to remove the President and Governors from office.

The dismissal of the petition filed by Nakuru activist Laban Omusundi comes despite evidence of state capture in the National and County Assemblies.

In a report tabled in the Senate on Tuesday, the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights rejected Omusundi’s petition.
