Mutua has said that the motion was premature and unconstitutional.

The motion, which was debated for close to 10 hours, was eventually lost as 26 MCAs voted to approve the impeachment while 31 stayed away from the assembly.

Two other members were not present during voting.

Dr Mutua, who was represented by Lawyer Wilfred Nyamu during the debate.

“An impeachment motion devoid of public participation is null and void. Members of the public ought to have been consulted since the governor was elected by over 200,000 people and not 59 MCAs,” Mr Nyamu argued.
