Meru County now has a new governor after Reverend Isaac Mutuma, who has been serving as the Deputy Governor since 2022, was sworn into office today.

This follows the successful impeachment of Governor Kawira Mwangaza by the Senate in 2024, which was upheld in a court ruling on March 14th this year.

Mr Mutuma took the oath of office presided over by Justice Antony Kimani at Mwendantu grounds in Meru County, in a ceremony that was graced by leaders from all walks of life.

Residents who attended the ceremony were optimistic of a new dawn in the county in Mutuma's regime after about two and half years of what some claimed was a one-man-show type of leadership.
