Meru governor Kawira Mwangaza has been impeached for the third time in two years after MCAs voted in favour of the ouster motion.
Mwangaza was hounded out of the office after 49 MCAs voted in support of the motion against 17 who rejected it.
Three members failed to avail themselves at the assembly for the impeachment vote.
Mwangaza will await the Senate’s decision to know if the house will save her or oust her.
She becomes the first governor to be impeached several times in the country.
Nominated MCA Zipporah Kinya accused Mwangaza of three counts: gross violations of the constitution, gross misconduct and abuse of office.
In the gross violation of the constitution and other laws, Kinya said Mwangaza illegally revoked the appointment of Virginia Kawira as the secretary of the county public service board.
“It is only the county assembly who have the mandate to revoke the appointment of the secretary county public service board,” she said
