It is only former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and Embu Governor Martin Wambora’s ousters that were upheld by the House. Governors Mwangi wa Iria (Murang’a), Paul Chepkwony (Kericho), Granton Samboja (Taita Taveta) and the late Nderitu Gachagua (Nyeri) all survived. In February that year, Embu MCAs voted to impeach the governor for violating the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, Public Finance Management Act and the Constitution. In Nyeri, MCAs voted to impeach Gachagua in September 2016. And last year, Samboja was impeached by Taita Taveta MCAs, but survived at the Senate.
