Main Story
Governor Erick Mutai is staring down a renewed attempt to remove him from office after a second impeachment motion was filed in the Kericho County Assembly. The Clerk of the Assembly has verified that the motion meets all criteria outlined in the Standing Orders and has been passed on to the House Business Committee for processing.
The motion, filed by Sigowet Ward MCA Kiprotich Rogony, includes supporting signatures from a section of MCAs and documentation alleging grounds for the governor’s removal.
This is not the first time Governor Mutai has faced impeachment. In 2024, a similar motion was passed by the county assembly but failed to gain traction in the Senate, where it was struck down due to insufficient support. The fresh attempt signals persistent discontent among some MCAs regarding his administration.
While the details of the latest allegations have not been officially released, the renewed motion suggests continued concerns about governance, accountability, or leadership conduct within the county. It’s expected that the specifics will be laid out during debate in the assembly.
If passed, the motion will once again head to the Senate for consideration. Governor Mutai will have the right to respond and defend himself at every stage of the process.
