Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo is set to appear before the full Senate on July 8 and 9 to answer to a raft of serious impeachment charges after the House on Monday rejected a proposal to form a special committee to investigate him.
The decision now paves the way for the plenary to handle the matter directly, with Speaker Amason Kingi calling for the governor and the Isiolo County Assembly to appear before the Senate next week.
This follows the collapse of a motion by Senate Majority Whip Bonny Khalwale (Kakamega), who had proposed the establishment of an 11-member special committee to probe the charges against Governor Guyo. "I want to appeal to you to weigh this important issue carefully.
The country has placed immense confidence in us, and it is important that Governor Guyo is given the best opportunity to be heard," Khalwale said while moving the motion.
