By DERRICK LUVEGAMore by this AuthorVihiga County Assembly on Thursday impeached Deputy Speaker Nixon Butiya, barely a week after withdrawing a similar move against Governor Wilber Ottichilo. Mr Butiya was impeached after 31 MCAs voted in favour of the motion, replacing him with Jepkoyai Ward MCA Zachariah Murefu. Six other ward representatives abstained from voting, saying the matter was pending in court after Mr Butiya filed an application. Mr Mboku accused Mr Butiya of abuse of office, bias, incompetence and usurping the powers of the chairman of the committee on selection. Mr Butiya, Mr Opole and Mr Ijaika were in the frontline in pushing for Mr Ottichilo's impeachment.
