Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has challenged his impeachment by the county assembly citing irregularities in procedure. In a letter to the Speaker of the Senate Keneth Lusaka, Waititu argues that apart from timelines not being followed by MCAs in tabling and debating the impeachment motion, there was no prerequisite quorum. Waititu says of the total 92 MCAs, only 57 were present during debate and voting, 35 were absent as 30 were away in Lake Bogoria Lodge, Baringo county. On Thursday last week, the MCAs impeached Waititu for abuse of office and gross misconduct. The Senate will consider the grounds of impeachment of Waititu when it resumes sittings next year February.
