In a latest political development, Kericho Governor Erick Mutai has been impeached after 31 Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) voted in support of the motion. The impeachment, which took place today, was driven by accusations of gross misconduct, violation of the Constitution, and other charges.
The MCAs backing the motion cited various issues, including the governor’s alleged failure to adhere to ethical standards and his mishandling of county resources.
Mutai’s administration had been under increasing scrutiny in recent months, with critics pointing to mismanagement and a disregard for constitutional responsibilities.
Despite efforts by the governor to defend his record, the overwhelming support for the impeachment motion signals widespread dissatisfaction within the county assembly.
This development now moves the process to the Senate, where Governor Mutai’s fate will be determined.
