Mwangaza, the first female governor in Meru County was impeached last week after MCAs unanimously voted to remove her from office over alleged nepotism, illegal appointments, unlawful dismissals, misleading campaigns against other leaders, and gross violation of the Constitution.

The reps had also protested the appointment of the governor's husband, Baichu Murega as Meru Youth Service Patron and as 'Hustlers Ambassador'.

Murega said he was not being paid by the government, and that his services would be rendered on a pro bono basis.
