A Milimani Court has upheld the Senate impeachment of Meru County Governor, Kawira Mwangaza, after dismissing the amended Petition she had filed challenging her impeachment.
The Meru Governor had filed the Amended Petition challenging her impeachment by the Senate on grounds that the process violated various constitutional provisions, including the right to a fair hearing as provided in Article 50, public participation in Article 10, and the sub judice principle.
Governor Mwangaza, who is the petitioner, had filed the Amended Petition against the Speaker of the Senate, Amason Kingi, as the respondent.
In her petition, Mwangaza had argued that the impeachment did not meet the constitutional threshold, that it was conducted in defiance of a valid court order, and was based on matters already pending before the High Court in the Meru High Court Constitutional and Human Rights Petition No.
