Kirinyaga governor Ann Waiguru in a past function
On Tuesday 9thJune 2020 the Kirinyanga Members of county assembly passed an impeachment motion against the county governor Ann Waiguru.
In the assembly 23 MCAs out of 33 voted on favour of Waiguru ouster motion sponsored by Mutira ward rep Kinyua Wangui. Four abstained while six were absent.
The MCAs accused Waiguru for gross misconduct,abuse of office and violation of the constitution among others.
But it seems like the senate might save Waiguru from her impeachment. These are some of the reasons that show Waiguru might be saved;
Governor Ann Waiguru With opposition chief Raila Odinga.
She is a closest ally of president Uhuru and opposition leader Raila Odinga. Who have a huge command of senators in the Senate. The senators might obey orders from their masters. This would be in favour of Waiguru.
Waiguru ouster motion also proceeded despite the court order to stop her removal which Waiguru had filed.
Kenyans have to wait and see the way the senate will handle the impeachment motion. Barely some months after the same senate uplifted the impeachment of the former Kiambu Governor Waititu despite some irregularities.
It had been speculated that, despite Waititu corruption accusations, there was also an order from powerful personnel in government that engineered his removal.
