The 25 MCAs out of the 33 MCAs who voted against Waiguru ‘s 2020/2021 Ksh 5.6 billion memorandum said Waiguru has seven days to pay the county government employees and health workers failure she will face another impeachment motion.

” We are are ready to impeach again because we have the numbers,” Mutithi ward MCA Peter Njomo said.
