Embattled Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza on Thursday returned to her office.

In a message after returning to the office, Kawira said she will lead the county for 10 years without a break.

"Kabati kabati kaende kaende #MbeuyaNgai #KumiBilaBreak  So help me God," she wrote on her official Facebook page.

This comes just a day after the High Court stopped her impeachment, which was upheld by the Senate on Tuesday night.

Justice Bahati Mwamuye at the same time restrained Speaker of the Senate Amason Kingi from publishing in the Kenya Gazette Notice a declaration of a vacancy in the office of the Governor of Meru County.

“Merciful God,” the Meru governor posted on social media soon after Mwamuye delivered the ruling.

It was not the first time the governor has taken to social media to celebrate wins in her latest impeachment case.

Mwangaza expressed joy at the Senate’s decision to probe charges against her through plenary.

Senators rejected a proposal by the House Business Committee to establish an 11-member committee to hear impeachment charges against Mwangaza.

“Hallelujah,” the Meru County boss said on X after news broke she would appear before all Senators to defend herself.

The senate upheld the impeachment of Kawira on Wednesday after two unsuccessful bids by the County Assembly.

A total of 40 out of 69 members of the Meru County Assembly voted to impeach for the third time since her swearing-in.

Senators voted to send her home based on three charges in which she was found guilty.
