Published on June 28, 2020, Kirinyaga MCAs have said their battle to oust Governor Anne Waiguru is far from over, despite the Senate clearing her of allegations of abuse of office and gross violation of the Constitution.
The MCAs, who voted to impeach Ms Waiguru in a motion moved by the Mutira Ward Representative Kinyua Wangui, have now threatened to move to the High Court to challenge the Senate decision.
Through their lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, the 23 MCAs who voted to impeach Ms Waiguru expressed their dissatisfaction with the Senate's verdict, dismissing it as untrue.
"My clients were unhappy with what the Senate did and they must go to court to seek justice," Mr Njiru stated.
The MCAs stressed that their battle with the governor, whom they accused of undermining the authority of the Kirinyaga County Assembly, is far from over.
Meanwhile, Governor Waiguru has said she has forgiven the ward representatives who impeached her, saying her clearance by the Senate marks a remarkable and historic victory in her political life.
She attributed her owes to her support for the Building Bridges Initiative and the handshake between ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has congratulated the MCAs "for doing a good job" in fighting to protect the resources meant to benefit the residents.
