In the company of her, daughter, son and husband Murega Baichu, Governor Mwangaza took a walk to the Senate for her impeachment trial.

Mwangaza was ousted last month after 59 MCAs voted in favour of the impeachment motion.

The impeachment case against Kawira is being heard in the Senate plenary.

Mwangaza has since pleaded not guilty to seven charges against her.

Her charges include misappropriation and misuse of county resources, nepotism and related unethical practices.

The governor faces accusations of illegal appointments, contempt of court, illegally naming a public road after her husband and contempt of the assembly.

Mwangaza is also accused of bullying, vilifying and demeaning other leaders, making illegal appointments and usurping statutory powers.
