Members of the Kirinyaga County Assembly (MCAs) have voted to impeach Governor Anne Waiguru.
The impeachment motion against Waiguru sailed through after it garnered the support of 23 out of 33 MCAs during a session marred with chaos on Tuesday.
The motion was filed by Mutira Ward MCA David Kinyua Wangui who cited gross misconduct and abuse of office as the grounds for Waiguru’s removal.
County Assembly Speaker Anthony Gathumbi announced Waiguru had been impeached after the motion was voted by the required majority. Four other Ward Representatives abstained while six were absent.
Chaos broke out during the proceedings after MCA Anthony Munene (Karumandi) and Nominated MCA Lucy Njeri were ejected. The two are allies of Governor Waiguru.
In a statement earlier, Governor Waiguru termed the impeachment motion against her as an ill-informed and ill-timed.
“As I have stated before, the issues raised in the motion are baseless and a waste of valuable time that would be better spent handling the serious issues impacting the county including the corona crisis,” said Waiguru.
She further indicated that there is a High Court order barring proceedings at the Kirinyaga County Assembly with regards to the ouster motion.
“For some inexplicable reason the members pushing this motion believe or have been led to believe that they are above the law, They believe they are not bound by court orders. Their allegiance seems to be a master pulling and pushing the levers from outside the county assembly and not to the rule of law,” she added.
Waiguru threatened to return to court to seek contempt of court orders against Kirinyaga County Assembly Speaker and MCAs involved in her ouster.

What took you so long?????? I hope they are able to strip off her governorship. Corruption ought to be her middle name!!!! She has embezzled so much public fund without any consequences. Rotten to the core. She belongs somewhere behind bars. Kenyans justice is so compromised that people like her will never see the inside of a prison. The fleecing continues, and so it goes on and on!!!!
Can someone get her to return the NYS money... Who will jail this people... I am thinking l should go back to Kenya and became the president and jail them all and all money in their account returned back... I will have a central office that will be overseeing all country projects... with each county represented in the central office.. CORRUPTION FINISHED under my presidency... VOTE FOR ME.... I even have the name of the person who will head that office …. Kenyan working for world bank and overseeing projects in Africa.

All trouble makers should be impeached including charity ngilu,Susan kihika,Joyce leboso. They are non performing Governors be replaced by more competent.
You are soo yesterday, you don’t even know who Joyce Leboso is. Google.
Unfortunately Kenya is soooo corrupt she will go nowhere. She knows who her boss is. This thing will go to senate and she will come out in victory because in Kenya its about who you know. What a shame. How could she steal all that NYS money and still be elected as a governor. Shame on you Kenya and the people of Kirinyaga. She should be behind bars along time. Stupid woman, she thinks she is all that. No wonder Kenya will never move on with a bunch of corrupt dictators who think they own the country. Come 2022 our eyes are open. Unfortunately in Kenya it’s all about who you know up in the ladder.
Karma is a bitch. Let him save his whore. She survived NYS scandal BUT karma strikes like thunder! Deep state shit!!! She will survive if she opens her legs to relevant the one you know who!
This thief MUST GO!!
