Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has asked Kenyans to send their “thoughts and prayers” as her impeachment motion is tabled at the county assembly.
In a social media post on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, Kawira asked Kenyans to offer their supplication to the Lord of Justice for her sake and for the sake of Meru County.
"Please pray for our County of Meru. Please pray for me, pray for justice," she wrote.
Currently, Mwangaza's county boss job hangs on a cloud of uncertainty even as she claims the impeachment move is a political witch hunt sponsored by her rivals.
According to her, the motion was being propelled by a party she declined to mention.
This comes barely days after a section of Meru clergymen called on President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to mediate in the spat between Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
In a statement, the clergymen drawn from the National Independent Churches of Africa (NICA) Mission Diocese called on the President and his deputy to intervene urgently.
Led by the NICA Mission Diocese Bishop Stephen Kalunyu, the leaders noted that the tiff between Governor Mwangaza and the MCAs was slowing down developmental projects.
He also affirmed that the clergy was firmly behind the governor and urged the county leaders to find ways to resolve their disputes.
"Impeachment ya gavana wa Meru its very unfortunate kwamba imefika hapo. Hatungependa tufike hapo. Tunaomba Mungu apatie viongozi wa hapa Meru guidance and direction ili Meru ipate maendeleo. Hatungependa hili jambo liwe halina suluhu la kudumu kwa sababu mara ya kwanza Meru ina viongozi wa Kanisa. Iko na gavana ambaye ni bishop, kasisi. Tutaomba ili suluhu ambayo itatokea iwe ni mapenzi ya Mungu," he said.
