Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has been officially removed from office following a decisive vote by the Senate, which found her guilty on all three charges brought against her.
This marks the third attempt to remove Governor Mwangaza, with previous efforts failing to secure the necessary support.
Despite surviving two prior impeachment attempts, accusations of gross misconduct, constitutional violations, and abuse of office persisted, leading to her eventual ousting.
The decision by the Senate sparked celebrations across Meru County, with residents taking to the streets late at night to express their joy.
In some areas, people gathered to watch the Senate proceedings, and when Speaker Amason Kingi announced the verdict, cheers erupted as the crowd celebrated what they saw as a crucial victory for justice.
Many residents voiced their belief that the removal of Governor Mwangaza was not only a step toward accountability but also a significant move in addressing concerns surrounding the death of Sniper.
The celebrations highlighted the deep-seated frustrations that had built up over time, culminating in a collective sense of relief and hope for a more transparent and accountable leadership in Meru County.
