The act of Hon.Evans Kidero to slap Nairobi Women representative Hon. Shebesh might just cost him his job.
Under section 252 of the Penal Code it states that "Any person who commits an assault occasioning actual bodily harm is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for five years".
The act is considered an assault and has since been report to the police for prosecution. In the event the court finds Hon. Evans Kidero guilty of assault it will attract a sentence of up to five years imprisonment.
The Constitution of Kenya envisages the removal from office of a county governor. Under Article 181(1) A county governor may be removed from office on any of the following grounds––
(b) where there are serious reasons for believing that the county governor has committed a crime under national or international law;
(d) physical or mental incapacity to perform the functions of office of county governor.
Article 182. (1) The office of the county governor shall become vacant if the holder of the office—
(d) is convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment for at least twelve months
I wait to see the unfolding of this case but my advise to all leaders is to exercise temperance.
