Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has been impeached for the third time.
The impeachment is on charges of abuse of office, gross misconduct and gross violation of the Constitution.
During the impeachment hearing, 40 out of 69 members of the county assembly (MCAs) voted in favour of the impeachment motion.
The motion was tabled by Deputy Majority Party Leader Zipporah Kinya, meeting the two-thirds threshold.
17 MCAs voted against the impeachment motion, while three did not vote.
The three MCAs failed to avail themselves at the assembly for the impeachment vote.
Mwangaza will now await the Senate’s decision to know if the house will save her or remove her.
