The MCAs had on December 14, 2022, impeached Governor Mwangaza accusing her of violating the constitution on each of the 64 days she had been in power.

Kawira was saved from impeachment by the Senate on December 30 after a special committee led by Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale dismissed all the accusations.

“Honorable Senators, the committee has found all allegations against the Governor not to be substantiating... Therefore, the matter of impeachment of the Governor of Meru is now put to rest... We cannot purport to debate the report, the committee that came up with that report is a creature of this House, by extension it is the Senate that came up with that report.

“Having pronounced itself through that report, the Senate now stands functus officio... you cannot debate your own decision,” Senate Speaker Amason Kingi stated.
