Background

On June 9, 23 out of the 33-member County Assembly voted in favour of Governor Waiguru’s removal.

Four MCAs abstained from voting, whereas six were absent from the House, said County Assembly Speaker Anthony Waweru.

A two-thirds vote composition (22) was needed to ensure Waiguru’s ouster bid succeeds.

The impeachment motion against Waiguru was tabled in the Kirinyaga County Assembly on March 31, 2020, by MCA for Mutira Ward, David Kinyua Wangui.

Wangui accused Waiguru of, among other wrongdoings, abuse of office, gross misconduct, and violation of the Constitution of Kenya.
