On October 30, 2019, the Kitui County Assembly made history by impeaching two county executive committee members, Mr. Philip Mumo and Ms. Rosaita Ngina, for gross violation of the constitution and incompetence.
The two executives, who were in charge of trade, cooperatives and investments and health and sanitation respectively, were impeached following a motion of removal from office sponsored by the leader of majority Peter Kilonzo.
During a vote on the motions, 34 MCAs voted for the removal of Mr. Mumo against one who voted in his favor while 34 MCAs against nine voted to remove Ms. Ngina from office.
The impeachments come in the wake of bad blood between the assembly and the executive led by governor Charity Ngilu, mostly originating from a budget impasse.
