The County Assembly of Meru has called on members of the public to submit memoranda over the looming impeachment of Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
In a public participation notice by the assembly clerk, Jacob Karari, the deadline for submission of Memoranda by interested parties is October 24.
"A notice of motion for the removal of the Governor Meru County by impeachment in line with the provisions of Article 181 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, Section 33 of the County Governments Act, 2012 and Standing Order No. 65 of the County Assembly of Meru Standing Orders was laid on the Table of the Honourable Assembly," the notice reads.
"... the County Assembly invites members of the public and stakeholders to submit any submissions/presentations that they may have on the said Notice of Motion."
The clerk also announced that sittings to collect public views across all subcounties in Meru will be held on Monday, October 23.
"Written submissions/representations may be forwarded to the Clerk, County Assembly of Meru, P.O Box 3-60200, Meru or emailed to [email protected]."
The call comes a few days after the Meru MCAs tabled a motion to impeach Governor Mwangaza.
The county legislators accuse Mwangaza of committing seven violations as grounds for her impeachment.
If successful, this will be the second impeachment in less than a year.
Mwangaza sought the help of the Senate in resolving the dispute with MCAs and other leaders.
In a letter seen by the Star, Mwangaza asked Speaker Amason Kingi to direct that the Standing Committee on Devolution take charge of their peace talks.
"In the spirit of reconciliation and well aware that the Senate Standing Committee in charge of devolution is in a position to mediate over these perceived differences between myself, the Deputy Governor and the County Assembly; I write to you to invite the said Committee to intervene," the letter reads.
