Mwangaza Was removed from office on August 20 by the senate on all three accounts of Failing to uphold law, Gross misconduct and abuse of office.
But she got a reprieve after High Court suspended decision to impeach her Justice Bahati Mwamuye had restrained Senate Speaker Amason Kingi from publishing in the Kenya Gazette notice declaring a vacancy although the court order came after Kingi had already published.
The matter will be mentioned on September 17 to confirm compliance and take a priority date for highlighting written submission.
