Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has been impeached following the power struggle between her and the MCAs, which has been going on for over a year. The MCAs voted in favor of the impeachment for the third time.
The governor will now await the Senate to determine whether the impeachment has merit or whether they will save her from it. She will become the first governor in the country to be impeached three times in a row.
She is accused of gross violation of the constitution, gross misconduct, and abuse of office. Nominated MCA Zipporah Kinya brought forth all these accusations. In gross violation of the law, Zipporah said Mwangaza illegally revoked Virginia Kawira’s appointment as secretary to the county public service board.
“It is only the county assembly who have the mandate to revoke the appointment of the secretary county public service board, “she said.
The deputy majority leader said that Mwangaza failed to appoint the chairpersons of the Meru County Revenue Board, Meru Youth Service Board, and Meru Microfinance Corporation, among other boards, as required by the law, thereby failing to operationalize the boards.
She went ahead to say that the governor refused to implement the recommendations and resolutions of the County Assembly, requiring her to dismiss the County Secretary, Kiambi Athiru Thambura, and the Chief of Staff, Harrison Gatobu Nchamba Mbithi, from office for gross violation of the constitutional laws.
Still on Gross Violation of the law, Kinya accused Governor Kawira Mwangaza of illegally dismissing Dr Ntoiti, CEO of County Revenue Board, Paul Mwaki, CEO of Liquor Board, Kenneth Kimanthi Mbae and Joseph Kithure Mberia, CEO of MEWASS in the usurpation of the powers of the appointing authorities contrary to section 9 of the Meru County Revenue Act and Section 10 of the Meru County Investment and Development Corporation Act.
As a result, Kinya says that the Employment and Labour Relations Court awarded the county government of Meru damages amounting to Ksh 4 million.
