Reports indicate that the Speaker of the County Assembly of Nyamira approved the notice of the impeachment motion against Nyaribo that called for the motion against him to be heard from 2:30PM.
Further reports indicate that 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.
This comes barely a year after Governor Nyaribo survived an impeachment attempt after the motion was filed at the same assembly. In the motion, 16 MCAs voted for his ouster while 18 voted against it.
This also comes barely a month after residents of Nyamira went to the streets in August 2024 calling on the President William Ruto to dissolve the county after reports emerged that the Governor was drawing a hefty Ksh.6.5 Million monthly.
