Twice bitten? Meru MCAs table second impeachment motion against Kawira Mwangaza

The governor has also been accused of nepotism where she is said to have employed her husband's nephew as the CEO of Meru Youth Service (MYS) and Acting Chief Officer of the Department of Finance.

In one instance, the MCAs accuse Mwangaza of sending her relatives in the guise of a "technical team" to travel to China to inspect and certify cancer treatment equipment.

She has also been accused of contempt of court following an order issued by the Employment and Labour Relations Court on September 29, 2023.

The MCAs had last year in December tabled another motion of impeachment against Mwangaza due to various violations of the Constitution, including nepotism and irregular employment and financial practices.

However, the Senate saved her after a committee chaired by Senator Boni Khalwale said that the MCAs had not provided sufficient evidence.
