Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza is set to face her fourth impeachment trial with two counts of abuse of office and misappropriation of public funds. The impeachment motion in the assembly comes even as nine residents petitioned President William Ruto to suspend the county, arguing that the government has failed the tenets of devolution. In November last year, the ward representatives filed another impeachment motion, which was also overturned by a resolution of the Senate. But speaking at a local radio station on Monday, Ms Mwangaza said she still supports the suspension of the county government for fresh elections. Despite this, I recently agreed to reconciliation talks led by the Njuri Ncheke Council of Elders which are ongoing,” Ms Mwangaza said.
