Published on June 27, 2020, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has extended an olive branch to the 23 Members of County Assembly who unsuccessfully tried to oust her.
Waiguru called on the County Assembly to join her in addressing challenges identified by the Senate Special Committee, which was established to probe allegations of gross-misconduct and abuse of office leveled against her.
She said she will embark on a reconciliation process to heal the rifts caused by the battles that saw the Assembly pass an impeachment motion against her.
Waiguru agreed with the report’s findings, which revealed the need for better checks and balances in administration by officers.
“I would like to assure Kirinyaga residents that this will not go unaddressed and that the necessary changes and improvements will be made to both human resource and systems with the aim of improving service delivery to the people of Kirinyaga,” she said in a statement posted on her social media page.
Waiguru’s change of heart came after the 11-member Committee led by Senator Cleopas Malala said the Governor’s condescending attitude towards the County Assembly might have played a part in her impeachment.
