Nominated Member of County Assembly (MCA) Zipporah Kinya has tabled an impeachment motion against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangza.
Speaking on Wednesday, July 17 at the Meru County Assembly, Kinya accused Governor Mwangaza of gross violations of the Constitution, various national and county laws, and abuse of office.
“The governor of Meru has despite previous impeachment processes and warnings from the Senate persisted in discardable acts singularly and collectively that amount to gross violation of the constitution, gross violation of various national and county laws, and abuse of office,” the nominated MCA stated.
She noted that the acts have exposed the office of the governor, the deputy governor's office, the assembly and its leadership, and the people of Meru to national shame and ridicule.
Kinya pointed out that 1,611 members of the public have presented public petitions against Governor Mwangaza on the various gross violations and instances of abuse of office.

Further, she claimed that Governor Mwangaza’s continued stay in office has undermined effective and efficient service delivery and hurt the interests of the people of Meru County.
“The assembly therefore resolves to impeach the governor of Meru under Article 181 of the Constitution, Section 33 of the County Governments Act and Standing Order No. 65 of the Standing Orders of the Assembly,” Kinya added.
This will be the third time Mwangaza will be the subject of an impeachment motion. The Meru County boss was first impeached in December 2022 but was saved by the Senate on December 30, 2022.
She was again impeached by the Meru MCAs on October 26, 2023, but the senate again threw out the charges fronted against Governor Mwangaza.
