Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza Impeachment Upheld

Meru Governor Kawaira Mwangaza has suffered a blow after the High Court upheld her impeachment at the Senate Assembly.

In its ruling, the court stated that the Senate had acted within the Constitution during Mwangaza’s removal process. It dismissed her claims that the impeachment was marred by irregularities, stating that she had failed to provide sufficient evidence to support her allegations.

Additionally, the court determined that the Senate did not violate any court orders during the impeachment. Mwangaza had argued that the Senate proceeded with her removal despite pending court proceedings aimed at blocking the process. However, the court found no substantial proof that the Senate had defied any valid court directive.

Mwangaza had claimed that her impeachment lacked public participation, but the respondents opposed this argument. The court declined to rule on the matter, stating that it was central to another ongoing case before the Meru Court.
