Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua is facing impeachment for alleged misuse of funds and abuse of office. Mutua says, however, the planned impeachment results from his refusal to fund the campaigns of MCAs, as they have demanded. The motion alleges irregular payment of Sh89 million for the desilting of Maruba Dam and contract award for construction of an access road. Muthuka has accused Mutua of using county funds to mount signs promoting his Maendeleo Cha Chap party. Other accusations include irregular purchase of vehicles, irregular payment of confidential expenditure amounting Sh7.5 milion and failure to establish internal audit mechanisms.
