The High Court has upheld the impeachment of former Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices George Nduru, Grace Nzioka, and Wilfreda Onkwany dismissed Waititu’s petition challenging his ouster and the installation of current Governor James Nyoro.
The judges ruled that the Kiambu County Assembly and the Senate followed the law in the removal of Waititu from office, adding that the petitioner was accorded a fair hearing.
“The impeachment of Waititu fully complied with the constitution and statutory requirements. We, therefore, find that the petitions lack merit and are hereby dismissed,” the judges unanimously ruled.
The court also found that the swearing-in of Nyoro as the new governor of Kiambu following the removal of Waititu was constitutional.
The judges also ruled that Waititu failed to prove claims that there was no quorum in the county assembly on the day he was impeached.
“We have considered the arguments on the issue of quorum and find that there is no dispute that the requisite quorum to pass a valid resolution on a special motion by the assembly is two-thirds of its membership. The bone of contention is whether the 62 number threshold was met. We find that the burden of proving that the number threshold was not met rested on the petitioners going by the adage “he who alleges must prove,” the judges added.
Waititu was impeached in January 2020 on grounds of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and engaging in corruption.

Massive corruption from 1963…
Massive corruption from 1963 runs quadrillion dollars. I heard wanjigi gave Kibaki and Raila 20b for SGR. Without corruption Kenya would be 1st world. Raila or Ruto won’t end corruption
Morris, of the two idiots…
Morris, of the two idiots running for president:Ruto and Raila, neither is fit for presidency. They need new blood running for presidency and retire this 2 of the old guard. Can you just imagine how many billionaires that would be minted by Ruto’s presidency. Did you know that all his ministers have stolen money? Money that was meant for mama mboga now is being taken to church every Sunday. How about Raila? He will bankrupt kenya and will do anything to please wazungu. He sounds too professional and dull for a regular person

Life has to be very lonely for this man these days. No one returns his calls, his entourage is a distant memory, and his wife has threatened to divorce him. Malipo ni hapa hapa.

Do you recall the guy called Wamala in the little literature book called the Burdens? It’s the current life of political conmanship. They lose everything once they start going down including their wives who run around looking for greener pastures.

Isn’t the law being unfair…
Isn’t the law being unfair to uneducated stealers? Pro thieves get away but the unschooled get caught. It pays to go to school.
Why would Waititu go…
Why would Waititu go appealing well knowing he stole people’s money? He should be forced to return every penny he stole from tax payers. The same thing with DP Ruto. Some of the money Waititu stole went to Ruto for political campaigns! Kenyans are really sick and tired of these thieves. I was recently surprised to learn the senator Sakaja joined the most corrupt uda brigade. The politicians have no shame!
Wezi wezi
Wezi wezi
Kuria and Waititu have one…
Kuria and Waititu have one thing in common, they are both thieves of public funds. Kuria will end up in UDAku because he knows with Ruto on the helm, he can steal more and take some stolen loot to his brok Waititu. Hopefully the Kiambu people are intelligent enough not to elect Kuria as the governor because he will bankrupt Kiambu with theft.
