Published on June 24, 2020, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has attributed her impeachment woes to her support for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
Waiguru was impeached by the Kirinyaga County Assembly earlier this month over allegations of gross violation of the constitution, misuse of office, and corruption.
During her impeachment hearing, Waiguru denied claims of neglecting the County Health Ministry, stating that she had attended some foreign trips with the Majority Leader, contradicting allegations that she had conferred Ksh10m allowances for fictitious trips to herself.
Waiguru further stated that she was only impeached due to her stance on the BBI report, saying, "My stand on the BBI has made me enemies with people of deep influence and deep pockets inside my county and outside."
She added that she forgives the MCAs for conspiring with her enemies to impeach her.
The Senate Committee, chaired by Kakamega's Cleophas Malala, will submit its final report on Thursday, following a special sitting to consider the committee's findings.
