Kericho Governor Eric Mutai impeached

The impeachment stems from allegations of gross constitutional violations, abuse of office, and misuse of public resources. 

The motion was introduced by Sigowet Ward MCA Kiprotich Rogony.

Initially, the assembly had anticipated Governor Mutai's presence for a defense against the serious charges. 

However, he was absent and instead sent a legal team led by Katwa Kigen. 

An alleged court order that Mutai claimed would halt the impeachment proceedings was reportedly not served in time, allowing the motion to proceed as scheduled.

Rogony has accused the governor of several serious offences, including leading a mob to seize private land in Kericho town for use as an unapproved dumpsite and coercing women into inappropriate sexual acts.
