The impeachment of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru by 23 MCAs out of the possible 33 was a show of might in legislative decision-making, which is rare to come by in any county in Nyanza. Several attempts of impeachment against governors in Mt Kenya region, which is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s backyard, also point to how liberal politics can be against the principle of tightly guided democracy. He has been accused together with Kirinyaga Woman Rep Purity Ngirici as those out to clip Waiguru’s political wings in the realignment. For the impeachment of governors in Nyanza, all political pundits agree unanimously that it will remain unheard of and is a kin to dethroning the powers that be. No political leader worth his salt can dare question massive rip off of billions of shillings lost in Nyanza county governments and get away with it.
