On June 26, 2020, the Senate Committee tasked with hearing Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru's impeachment case delivered a verdict in her favor, acquitting her of the charges leveled against her.
The Kirinyaga County Assembly had failed to substantiate the two charges, and the committee's decision marked a significant victory for Waiguru and the people of Kirinyaga County.
Waiguru described the verdict as a 'historic victory' and thanked her legal team, led by her husband Kamotho Waiganjo, for their tireless efforts in defending her.
"The conclusion of my impeachment process today marks a remarkable and historic victory not only for me but for the people of Kirinyaga County," Waiguru said in a statement.
She further hailed her husband's legal expertise, saying, "You are definitely one from heaven," and expressed her gratitude to her team for proving the allegations against her false.
Waiguru assured the people of Kirinyaga that the botched impeachment would not affect her commitment to serve them, and she reaffirmed her vision for the county's development.
