Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza continued to fight her impeachment in court yesterday as shed light on a chaotic Senate session and a disregarded court order.
Appearing before Milimani High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye, Mwangaza argued that her ouster by Meru County Assembly and senators defied a Meru High Court order of July 24, 2024, halting any impeachment proceedings.
Through her lawyers, Elisha Ongoya and Elias Mutuma, Mwangaza argued that Senate Speaker Amason Kingi ignored senators' protests about the court order during her trial, pressing ahead with the motion.
The court heard that Meru County Assembly Speaker Ayub Bundi Solomon, Clerk Jacob Kirari, and MCA Zipporah Kinya, who moved the impeachment, were sentenced to six months in prison on February 13, 2025, for contempt.
