Nyamira County Assembly MCAs initiate second impeachment motion against Governor Amos Nyaribo
Nyamira County Assembly MCAs initiate second impeachment motion against Governor Amos Nyaribo.
Nyamira Governor, Amos Nyaribo, is set to face a second impeachment starting Tuesday, September 10.
Nyaribo finds himself on the ropes again after the County Assembly of Nyamira approved the impeachment proceedings instituted against him today.
In an impeachment motion, the Speaker of the County approved the notice of the motion against him that called for the motion against him to be heard from 2:30 pm.
The motion was filed by Evans Juma a member of the County Assembly, on the grounds of gross violation of the Constitution of Kenya. He is accused of abuse of office and gross misconduct.
In October 2023, Governor Nyaribo survived an impeachment attempt. In the motion, 16 MCAs voted for his ouster while 18 voted against it.

In August 2024, a section of Nyamira Residents filed a petition to have the entire devolved unit in their county disbanded.
The residents claimed that the devolved unit had failed in its service delivery duty to them. Governor Nyaribo, was accused of drawing a hefty Ksh.6.5 Million monthly, a figure he explained was because of pending arrears which in part emanated from his time as deputy governor.
Governor Nyaribo rose to the helm of Nyamira County almost 4 years ago after the demise of his senior, the Late Governor John Nyangarama on December 18, 2020.
The deputy governor was then sworn in as acting governor for the rest of the term in line with constitutional requirements.
He subsequently defended his seat in the 2022 elections.
