Lawyers’ Evidence against Governor Mwangaza Are Lies.

Lawyers representing Meru governor Kawira Mwangaza in her impeachment hearing at the Senate have sought to explain why charges against the county boss have no basis.

Elias Mutuma and Elisha Ongoya said MCAs made up their minds to impeach Mwangaza again when the Senate failed to confirm charges against her during the last impeachment in November 2023.

This is the third time Mwangaza has faced an impeachment hearing.

County assembly has created a lie. Told a lie, and repeated the lie so many times that it started to sound like the truth. When you look them in the eye and tell them it’s a lie, they get bitter,” Mutuma stated.

Ongoya said the county assembly has tried to remove Mwangaza from office five times though the matter has been before the Senate for the third time.

“When we were here debating the last Motion, they said that if the Senate reinstates Mwangaza, they should know that they have six more times to impeach her,” he said.

Ongoya added that the MCAs did not need new grounds to impeach Mwangaza.

“They said they would do it six times so that they tell the people of Meru that they tried their best. We are here today as a matter of statistical count,” he stated.

He added that the impeachment has nothing to do with Mwangaza’s act or commission or omission to warrant her removal from office.
