The Senate has voted to dismiss the impeachment motion against Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo Hassan, citing procedural flaws by Members of the County Assembly.
This followed a vote taken by Senators on Tuesday night after a total of 31 Senators backed the decision, while 12 opposed it.
Guyo`s legal team successfully raised a preliminary objection stating the impeachment did not take place as it is alleged by Members of the County Assembly of Isiolo.
Advocate Elisha Ongoya, who led Governor Guyo`s defense team, said nobody had certified the Hansard presented by the County Assembly, terming the motion null and void and of no legal consequence, citing the impeachment of Kericho Governor Erick Mutai, which was abandoned since it did not meet the threshold. "I would like to request the Senate to dismiss the impeachment motion brought against Governor Guyo since it did not take place in the first place, since the County Assembly has not presented any video evidence to that effect, which shows that what has been brought here was cooked," said Ongoya.
