The Council of Governors wants the pending Impeachment Procedure Bill 2016 to be similar to the process of impeaching the President. Chairman Peter Munya (pictured) said the people elect governors; therefore any impeachment attempt must follow a similar process to that of the President. Munya, who is the Meru governor, reiterated that the bill must follow the procedure of impeaching the President. The bill provides a framework for removing public officers, including the President, Deputy President, Cabinet Secretaries, governors, deputy governors and MCAs. He said if the proposed bill is enacted then the impeachment process for governors will no longer be the preserve of the county assemblies and the Senate.
