Drama Awaits Miguna, Raila Nyanza Visit; President Ruto Rewards Loyalists With Committee Posts & Gov’t Plans to Cut a Huge Per Cent of Workers’ Salaries

Good Morning,

Barely months after assuming office, one governor who has been at loggerheads with members of the County Assembly could be on the chopping block.

Constitutional activist Salesio Thuranira has initiated the impeachment process, arguing that there are sufficient grounds for removing Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza from office over alleged gross misconduct and abuse of office.

The reasons for her impeachment are not limited to the appointment of the County Revenue Board General Manager, the governor’s husband’s participation in official meetings and the employment of two sisters, son-in-law and cousin in various positions.

If the petition meets the threshold, it will be presented for debate next week, and Mwangaza could be the first casualty to face impeachment.

In other news, President William Ruto’s ‘timekeeping’ skills have caught many off guard since he took the oath of office. From Mashujaa Day to State House meetings, President Ruto has outdone his predecessor in keeping time.

During President Uhuru’s tenure, “State House Time” was coined by Kenyans after his many state addresses, were delayed for hours against mentioned time. But Ruto, arrives even a few minutes earlier than usual, proving he is a no-nonsense president.

This could also be seen during the swearing-in of his cabinet ministers as they left the State House early to occupy their respective offices.
