Meru Governor's Impeachment Case Resumes in Court

The legal dispute between Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza and the Senate over her impeachment continued in court on September 24, 2024. Mwangaza was ousted from office by the Meru County Assembly last month, a decision that was subsequently upheld by the Senate. In response, Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued a temporary injunction halting the Senate's decision and preventing Senate Speaker Amason Kingi from declaring a vacancy in the Meru governorship. Today's court hearing focused on verifying compliance with previous orders and establishing a timeline for the submission of written arguments by both parties.
