Those behind the impeachment accused the governor of failed leadership.
Bomanyatuta MCA Julius Matwere accused the governor of failing to embrace dialogue.
“We believe those spearheading the talks have gotten the reason why we are after impeaching the governor. We will table the motion. Above all, service delivery has been poor. The governor has failed to hold talks on how to improve service delivery,” said Matwere.
