NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 14 — Meru MCAs were Wednesday expected to commence debate on a new motion to impeach Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

According to the Assembly’s Order Paper for the Morning Sitting, Abogeta West MCA Dennis Kiogora, who is also the Minority Whip, is expected to introduce debate on the motion which was tabled on December 6.

The Governor is accused of nepotism, illegal appointments, unlawful dismissals, usurpation of constitutional and statutory functions, incitement, bullying, vilification and misleading campaigns against other leaders.

The MCAs also accuse Mwangaza of being untrustworthy and disrespectful to the County Assembly.

Governor Mwangaza on her part has faulted the ward representatives accusing them of attempting to lure her into breaking the law by establishing the Ward Development Fund.

Governor Mwangaza had pleaded with President William Ruto to intervene following the escalation.

She ran as an independent candidate during the August 9 General Election but has since aligned herself to the ruling party.
