Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has survived an impeachment motion for the second time in less than one year after the majority of senators voted against her impeachment.
The voting went past midnight as the senators voted to give her a second chance to serve the people of Meru County.
Mwangaza faced; misappropriation and misuse of county resources, nepotism and related unethical practices, bullying, vilification and demeaning of other leaders, illegal appointments and usurpation of statutory powers, contempt of court, illegally naming a public road after her husband and contempt against the county assembly.
When given a chance to make final remarks before the voting took place, Kawira pleaded with the house to save her asking forgiveness if she had wronged anyone in the Senate and in Meru County admitting that just like other human beings she had her own weaknesses.
“I am praying to God to give me energy, grace and perseverance to serve the people of Meru since I have a duty to unite them, I am Seeking forgiveness from the Meru Senator, Members of Parliament and Members of County Assembly,” said Kawira.
The Meru Senator Kathuri Murugi said that there is a big problem in Meru which needs to be addressed calling on President William Ruto to take charge and understand what is happening and that 59 MCAs cannot be made to impeach the governor for a second time.
