Kericho Governor Eric Mutai Impeached Despite Court Order, Faces Senate Battle Over Gross Misconduct Allegations

Kericho Governor Eric Mutai has been impeached by 31 County Assembly members, despite a court order temporarily halting the process. The MCAs accused Mutai of gross misconduct, including misuse of public funds and indecent behavior.

This move comes a day after Justice Joseph Sergon issued an order barring the assembly from proceeding with the impeachment until October 15, when Mutai's petition is set to be heard. Despite the legal ruling, the assembly pressed ahead, sparking a legal battle as Mutai plans to challenge the impeachment in court and possibly the Senate.
