Senators have voted to uphold the impeachment of Wajir County Governor Mohamed Abdi.
In a vote that took place on the night of Monday May 17, 2021, a total of 25 senators voted in favour of the ouster motion.
Two senators voted against the motion while four abstained.
The Governor had earlier made a passionate appeal to senators to be sympathetic and humane to him and spare his job.
The county chief appealed to the House to carefully study the charge that has been sustained by the committee that investigated his ouster, and give him another chance.
He pleaded before the plenary after a House committee that investigated his ouster recommended his removal for violating Article 43 of the Constitution.
The committee chaired by Nyamira senator Okong’o Omogeni had found the governor culpable of running down the health care system in the county thus compromising the right to health of the residents.
However, the governor said the offence does not amount to gross violation of the Constitution and proceeded to list the achievements his administration had made in the health sector.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
