On June 28, 2020, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru narrowly escaped impeachment after the Senate dismissed the motion citing lack of sufficient evidence.
Hours after the Senate's decision, Waiguru took to social media to express her gratitude to her husband, Kamotho Waiganjo, who served as her lead counsel in the case.
"I would like to thank my husband, who has been amazingly supportive throughout this process. A friend of mine recently said that there are husbands from heaven, and then there are husbands who come walking. You are definitely one from heaven," Waiguru said in a statement.
Waiganjo's exceptional representation was instrumental in securing Waiguru's position as governor, and she acknowledged his efforts in her statement.
Waiguru also used the opportunity to caution Kenyans against spreading false information, urging them to prioritize truth over sensational reporting.
