Editor's Review

Both houses of parliament had embarked on holiday recess.

The Senate is slated for a special sitting on Friday, December 30.

Speaker Amason Kingi has published a gazette notice in which it has been indicated the matters the legislative house will be deliberating on.

The lawmakers will witness the swearing of David Wakoli who was elected the senator for Bungoma replacing Moses Wetang'ula who took over the leadership of the National Assembly.

Besides Wakoli's inauguration into the house, the legislators will also deliberate on the report that will be tabled by the special committee probing the conduct of Meru governor Kawira Mwangaza.

The 11-member committee under the stewardship of Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale will be embarking on a retreat on Thursday, December 29, before submitting the report on Friday.

The committee began the hearing on Tuesday, December 27.

Meru MCAs impeached Governor Mwangaza on Wednesday, December 14.

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

This came 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.
