Meru High Court refers Mwangaza’s impeachment motion to Njuri Ncheke Elders
Meru High Court refers Mwangaza’s impeachment motion to Njuri Ncheke Elders: The Meru High Court has referred county Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s impeachment motion to Njuri Ncheke for alternative dispute resolution
The council of Njuri Ncheke has been ordered to submit their resolution or lack of it in the dispute not later than 3 weeks from today, Monday, July 29. Ruling in the matter has been deferred to August 20.
The Meru County Assembly on Friday stopped debating the impeachment motion against Mwangaza following a High Court order issued on Wednesday temporarily halting the proceedings until the court provides further directions.
The ruling was preceded by Mwangaza filing a petition challenging the planned impeachment motion on grounds that the proposal is being instigated by her political detractors.
Addressing the Meru County Assembly on Thursday, Speaker Ayub Bundi urged members to adhere to the court ruling, emphasizing the importance of upholding fairness in court trials.
Nominated Member and Deputy Leader of the Majority Party Zipporah Kinya accused Kawira of gross violations of the Constitution, various national and county laws, and abuse of office.
The notice of motion lists numerous specific allegations against Mwangaza such as illegal appointments and dismissals, financial misconduct, and misleading the public.
Notably, the Governor is accused of revoking the appointment of CPA Virginia Kawira Miriti as Secretary/CEO of the Meru County Public Service Board without proper authorization and in contravention of the law.
