A Governor who is currently facing an impeachment motion against him was forced to cry uncontrollably begging his Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to stop their Impeachment plans.
According to reports, Kericho Governor Erick Mutai was forced to shed tears in a bid to convince MCAs to stop their plans of tabling an impeachment motion against him that has been unanimously supported in the County Assembly.
This comes after Sigowet MCA Kiprotich Rogony tabled the impeachment motion before the Kericho County Assembly on Tuesday, citing constitution violations, gross misconduct and abuse of office.
While speaking at the burial of former Kipchimchim Ward MCA Robert Bernard Kipkorir, the Governor humbled himself before those in attendance, pleading in his mercy language for mercy over the plans to impeach him from his seat as the Governor.
“To the MCAs, I might have made mistakes like any other human being, I might have wronged you. But we have worked together in good and bad times. I have assisted you individually and collectively without favouring anyone. Please forgive me. If you must correct me, do so, but do not impeach me. Don’t strike me down like a snake.”
While crying on the microphone, the Governor further pleaded with the MCAs to drop their Impeachment bid saying that he has a family to feed and therefore should be spared from the wrath of the MCAs.
“I am a father of three young children. The eldest is in class seven, the second is in grade three, and my youngest is still breastfeeding. I ask for your mercy. As leaders, we carry a heavy cross full of nails. Along the way, we are bound to stumble. I may have made those stumbles, and for that, I ask for your forgiveness.”
