The notice comes days after Kananu wrote to the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary requesting a judge who will facilitate her swearing.
Kananu was sworn in as the Deputy Governor on January 15, 2021, and was thereafter scheduled to be sworn in as the governor according to the constitution.
However, Kananu’s swearing-in was challenged by her former county boss Mike Sonko through civil appeal No E228 of 2021.
On October 22, 2021, the Court of Appeal paved way for the swearing-in after it dismissed a petition filed by the former governor.
