Kisii Deputy Governor Faces Impeachment Over Corruption Allegations, Despite Attempts to Halt Proceedings
-
Kisii Deputy Governor Robert Monda faces impeachment by the county assembly over allegations of corruption and abuse of office.
-
President Ruto's lawyer Katwa Kigen went to court to try and stop the impeachment but the court declined to issue an injunction.
-
The impeachment motion cites violations of the constitution, abuse of office, misconduct, and crimes under national law.
-
Monda is accused of soliciting an 800,000 KSh bribe to secure a job for someone at the Gusii Water Company.
-
Even if the county assembly impeaches Monda, he may be rescued by Ruto's majority in the Senate, as happened last year with the Siaya Deputy Governor.
