Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka has set the date for hearing of embattled Kiambu goernor Ferdinand Waititu’s impeachment case.
Lusaka has set January 21 as the hearing date for Waititu’s case.
Waititu was impeached in December last year after Kiambu County Assembly voted to impeach him with 63 ward representatives supporting the impeachment motion anchored on abuse of office and violation of the Public Finance Management Act.
Only one MCA voted against the motion. 28 mainly pro-Waititu members were absent.

The motion sponsored by Ndenderu Ward representative Solomon Kinuthia also outlined violation of Public Finance Management Act provisions as the basis for the impeachment of the embattled county chief who has been indicted in a multi-million tender fraud case.
The County Assembly also debated Waititu’s role in the ballooning debt, Kinuthia accusing the governor of incurring an unsustainable debt and pending obligations totaling Sh4 billion.
