Published on June 16, 2020, the impeachment motion against Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has become a test for the senators, with claims that some members are out to rescue her despite the evidence presented against her.

The governor's impeachment is morphing into a test for the political truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition chief Raila Odinga, as the war against corruption is one of the central pillars of their political relationship.

While a senator close to Uhuru told People Daily that the Head of State remained ambivalent on Waiguru's fate, Raila yesterday rubbished claims that ODM had resolved to save the governor, effectively placing the ball on the senators' court.
