Kericho Governor Eric Mutai Impeached by County Assembly
In a dramatic turn of events, Kericho Governor Eric Mutai has been impeached by the County Assembly, following a decisive vote in which 31 members supported the motion. The impeachment comes amid serious allegations, including gross constitutional violations, abuse of office, and misuse of public resources.
The motion, spearheaded by Sigowet Ward MCA Kiprotich Rogony, outlined various grievances against the governor, which assembly members deemed sufficient to warrant his removal from office. During the debate, several MCAs expressed concerns over the management of county resources and the governor’s failure to adhere to constitutional mandates.
Mutai, who was elected in the last general elections, now faces the prospect of losing his position pending further legal and political proceedings. The decision has sparked a wave of reactions across the county, with supporters and opponents voicing their opinions on the assembly’s move.
As the situation unfolds, the focus will shift to the next steps in the impeachment process and the potential impact on governance in Kericho.
