Editor's Review

Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has been impeached. 

Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza was on Wednesday, December 14,  impeached by Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). 

All the 67 MCAs who were present voted to remove her over abuse of office claims and gross violation of the Constitution.  

This comes barely a month after the High Court saved her from the first impeachment on grounds that the MCAs did not follow the correct procedure. 

Mwangaza, who won the election on an Independent ticket, was the first woman in Meru County to be elected governor.

Governor Kawira's fate now lies with the Senators to either uphold or dismiss the impeachment. 

The Governor and the MCAs have not seen eye to eye since the former was sworn into office.
