Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has alleged a plot by some Kenya Kwanza leaders to impeach him.
He said the impeachment scheme is being bankrolled by politicians who he failed to name, and a deliberate move to block him from ascending to high office.
Speaking in Endebess, during the burial of former Cabinet Minister Nathan Munoko, Natembeya said he is not scared of the impeachment plot.
"I hear some people are planning to impeach me. It is fine. Let them go ahead," he said.
He insisted that the law should be followed and not flawed to suit the interest of individuals.

He accused some leaders of intolerance and putting barriers in political competition to maintain status quo.
"This culture of intolerance among the political class has to stop. Some people have put barriers in the political space to selfishly continue eating when they have failed to execute their responsibilities," said Natembeya.
The governor argued that some regions have been discriminated against in the sharing of national resources.
"I am standing with the people and we want equity in the distribution of national resources and this is what I am championing for," said Natembeya.
