Meru Governor Survives Impeachment For the Second Time
Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has for the second time survived an impeachment motion lodged against her at the Senate.
The majority of the legislators voted against all 7 allegations leveled against her meaning that the Governor will retain her position.
“The result of the division indicates that the Senate has not upheld any of the impeachment charges. The Senate has failed to remove from office by impeachment Governor Kawira Mwangaza and the Governor accordingly continues to hold office,” Senate Speaker Amason Kingi declared after the Senators completed casting their votes.
The Governor who had been impeached by 59 MCA’s of the Meru County Assembly was facing 7 accusations including; misappropriation and misuse of county resources, nepotism, bullying and vilification of other leaders, illegal appointments and usurpation of statutory powers, contempt of court, illegally naming a public road after her husband and contempt of the Assembly.
