Calls to impeach Governor Susan Kihika due to her prolonged absence from office have sparked behind-the-scenes disputes among Members of the County Assembly.

The Standard has learned that a petition filed at the Assembly by Engineer Evans Kimori, a resident, has sharply divided assembly members.

Kimori filed a petition seeking full disclosure of Kihika's whereabouts and urged the assembly to summon Kihika to explain her absence, among other demands.

Kimori's move was followed by another move by Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja, who urged the MCAs to impeach the governor.
