Kericho Governor Erick Mutai is set to learn his fate on whether he will retain the county's gubernatorial seat or lose it, as the Senate is scheduled to deliberate on the motion on August 29.

The impeachment motion against the Governor was initiated by the Kericho County Assembly, which accused him of gross violation of the Constitution, misuse of office, and gross misconduct. "Kericho County Governor (Dr) Erick Mutai will know his fate today as the Senate deliberates and considers a motion by Kericho County Assembly proposing his removal from office through impeachment," the Senate revealed.

The impeachment hearing has forced the Senate to hold a special session on Friday outside its normal sittings, which take place every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
