Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has expressed her willingness to support the dissolution of Meru County if that’s what the residents want. She believes that if dissolving the county would bring relief to the people, she would wholeheartedly support their decision.

Despite the challenges she has faced during her 14 months in office, Governor Mwangaza maintains that she has done her best to serve the people of Meru. She highlights the 72% absorption budget as evidence of her dedication to improving the county’s well-being.

Governor Mwangaza remains optimistic about her future, confident that if the residents of Meru believe she has performed well, they will re-elect her. She places her faith in both God and the people of Meru.

Meanwhile, another impeachment petition against Governor Mwangaza’s Cabinet members has been filed with the Meru County Assembly. Over 15 residents have accused the executive committee members of violating the Constitution and statutory laws.

The petitioners cite a range of allegations, including the defense Governor Mwangaza presented during the Senate impeachment proceedings, usurpation of powers, mismanaging the public service, abetting embezzlement, interfering with healthcare management, and using derogatory remarks against the Deputy Governor.

They urge the County Assembly to treat the petition as an urgent matter and initiate the impeachment process as outlined in the Standing Orders.

Under Section 123 of the County Governments Act, a petition to suspend a county government can be filed with the President if the county engages in actions deemed to be against the interests of its citizens. The petition must be supported by signatures from at least 10% of the registered voters in the county. Within 14 days of receiving the petition, the President submits a report to an apex body for intergovernmental relations.

In a dramatic turn of events, Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has emerged unscathed from a second impeachment attempt.

The Senate, after a two-day hearing, voted to acquit Mwangaza of all seven charges brought against her by the Meru County Assembly. This decision defied party lines, with Senators from across the political spectrum uniting to throw out the impeachment case.

The charges against Mwangaza included misappropriation of county funds, nepotism, and contempt of court. However, the Senators found no evidence to support these allegations, ultimately clearing the embattled governor of any wrongdoing.

Mwangaza, visibly relieved by the Senate’s decision, expressed her gratitude to the Senators and expressed her hope to unite all Meru leaders for the betterment of the county. She also apologized for any conduct that may have caused offense during her tenure.

This outcome marks a significant victory for Mwangaza, who has faced mounting pressure to step down since taking office in 2021. Her survival through two impeachment attempts is a testament to her resilience and her ability to garner support from her peers.

As the dust settles, the focus now shifts to healing and moving forward.Mwangaza has pledged to work together with the County Assembly and other stakeholders to address the challenges facing Meru and bring about positive change for its residents.

Meru County governor Kawira Mwangaza faced a 2nd impeachment with 59 out of 69 Members of County Assembly (MCAs) voting for her impeachment.

The motion, which was tabled by Majority Leader Evans Mawira, accused Mwangaza of gross violations of the Constitution and County Government Act, particularly in relation to the use and management of public resources. Mawira cited allegations of misappropriation and misuse of county funds, nepotism, usurpation of the roles of the Meru County Public Service Board, contempt of the Assembly, incitement of violence, and bullying and demeaning of other leaders, including her deputy governor, Mutuma M’nthinkia.

These allegations also include fraudulent funding and unrightfully employing family members and inclusion of relatives on a foreign trip while misrepresenting them as a ‘technical team’.

“We will not grant the interim orders herein now. Will need to consider all the submissions made by all parties. will render the ruling on the application for conservatory orders on Friday,” the Judges ruled.

The motion also accused Mwangaza of fraudulently funding the employment of her family members and misrepresenting them as a technical team on a foreign trip.

The mover of the motion said that impeaching Mwangaza was the best gift they could give to the governor and the people of Meru County, as her continued stay in office had undermined effective service delivery and gravely hurt their interests.

Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza made headlines after she put her husband, musician Murega Baichu, in check at a recent event.

Baichu was performing on stage when a female fan joined him and started dancing suggestively. The two were closely dancing and the crowd was cheering them on. However, things took a turn when the woman turned around and started grinding on Baichu.

This is when Mwangaza stepped in. She quickly made her way to the stage and put herself between the woman and her husband. The crowd erupted in laughter as it was clear that Mwangaza was not amused.

Mwangaza later told the media that she was simply protecting her husband’s dignity. She said that she would not tolerate anyone disrespecting her marriage.

Baichu has since apologized for the incident, saying that he was caught up in the moment and did not mean to disrespect his wife. He said that he loves his wife and would never do anything to hurt her.

The incident has sparked a debate on social media about the role of women in relationships. Some people have praised Mwangaza for standing up for herself, while others have criticized her for being too controlling.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual couple to decide how they want to handle their relationships. However, Mwangaza’s actions have certainly sent a message that she will not tolerate disrespect from anyone, including her husband.
