The High Court has
lifted the ban on the Mombasa Republican Council saying the move was
unconstitutional.
A three judge bench
sitting in Mombasa however warned MRC to stop agitating for secession saying
such act was not enshrined in the constitution.
The judges stated in their ruling that their
decision should not be seen as an endorsement for secession and added that the
same could only be achieved by far reaching amendments to the Constitution.
The three judges, Justices John Mwera, Francis Tiuiyot and Mary
Kasango advised the group to form a political party to front their agenda.
Members of MRC had moved to court to challenge a government notice
that outlawed them.
