"Today at about 4:20 pm I filed responses to the impeachment motion with substantive responses to each of the allegations leveled against me," Governor Waiguru stated through her social media.
She expressed confidence in her legal team and the rule of law, stating, "I have full confidence in my legal team and believe my response is sound. Let's allow the Senate to do its work."
Additionally, she emphasized her faith in the truth and justice, saying, "I have confidence in the rule of law and believe that Truth and Justice will be our shield and defender."
