Kiambu MCAs speak on Governor Wamatangi impeachment claims
Members of the Kiambu County Assembly (MCAs) have dismissed claims that there are ongoing plans to impeach Governor Kimani Wamatangi
Members of the Kiambu County Assembly (MCAs) have dismissed claims that there are ongoing plans to impeach Governor Kimani Wamatangi, saying no such process is underway.
Speaking to the Media outside the assembly on Wednesday, January 21, the assembly majority leader, Geoffrey Mucheke, noted that they were committed to working with the governor to ensure that service is delivered to the people of Kiambu.
He laughed at those propagating stories that they are in the process of impeaching the governor, and revealed they were confident in the leadership of Wamatangi despite being persecuted.
“We have heard from other quotas that there are plans to bring impeachment to the assembly. We are the members who can make or break an impeachment and we are not interested in any impeachment,” Mucheke stated.
“We want to assure the people of Kiambu County that our governor is not going anywhere. We know he is being prosecuted, but we are going to stand with him. There is not going to be any impeachment in this county government,” he added.
The media briefing was attended by about 80 of the 87 MCAs, who used the forum to publicly reaffirm their support for the governor.
They admitted that there were plans to impeach the government, and there was up to Ksh 100 million that had been set aside by unnamed individuals who wanted to impeach the government. The MCAS noted that no amount of money could make them change their mind and impeach Wamatangi.

The county deputy speaker, John Njiru, revealed that the MCAs signed a confidence motion with the governor, and it was tabled on Wednesday, noting that they will not accept any motion for up to six months.
He dared the MCAs, who were planning to table the motion, to come to the assembly and face them, saying they wouldn’t keep quiet when their governor was being intimidated.
“We have signed a confidenceletter with the governor and it will last six months. If they want to table any motion of impeachment they should wait for six months,” Njiru stated.
Governor Wamatangi has been faced with threats of impeachment since he became the governor, with the first one in 2023, months after he took office. Some Kiambu MCAs held demonstrations at the county headquarters, accusing Wamatangi of refusing to grant them an audience and failing to initiate development projects.
In October 2025, there were allegations to throw him out of office over the strike of county doctors and health professionals, which reports said led to the loss of over 150 infants.
The recent threats of impeachment are said to be linked to an ongoing investigation by the EACC. However, the governor had accused some legislators from the county of propagating the impeachment.
