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.
