Nyamira County Governor Amos Nyaribo was impeached on Tuesday, November 25, impeached.
23 Members of the County Assembly voted to remove him from office, on charges including abuse of office and gross violation of the Constitution.
In a session attended by 28 MCAs, with 12 others staying away, twenty-three ward representatives voted in favour of the impeachment motion sponsored by Bonyamatuta MCA Julius Kimwomi Matwere.
Four MCAs had submitted written requests to the Speaker asking to be included in the vote count.
The impeachment motion centers on serious allegations of misconduct, including abuse of office and gross violations of the Constitution and other laws. These accusations echo previous attempts by the Assembly to remove Nyaribo from office.
“I wish to give notice of motion of removal of Honorable Amos Nyaribo, the governor of Nyamira county, from office by way of impeachment on the following grounds: gross violation of the constitution of Kenya and other laws, abuse of office,” Kimwomi stated when he first tabled the motion during a special sitting on November 17, 2025.

This successful impeachment marks the climax of a prolonged power struggle between Governor Nyaribo and county legislators that dates back to 2023.
The Assembly has made numerous attempts to unseat the governor over the past two years, with accusations ranging from mismanagement and nepotism to failure to remit statutory deductions.
Previous impeachment efforts in 2024 and 2025 came remarkably close to succeeding, falling short by just a single vote on multiple occasions.
The special sitting where the motion was initially introduced was gazetted by Speaker Nyabaro on November 13, 2025, with the impeachment notice being the sole item on the agenda.
With the County Assembly having successfully passed the impeachment motion, the matter now moves to the Senate, which will conduct its own investigation and vote on whether to uphold or reject the Assembly’s decision.
