Kitui County Assembly is this Wednesday expected to discuss the impeachment motion against Governor Charity Ngilu.
The move comes after 40 out of 56 MCAs signed a petition to have Ngilu removed from office over claims of gross misconduct.
MCAs accuse Ngilu of gross violation of the Constitution and the County Government Act, misappropriation of public funds, undermining the authority of the County Assembly and skewed award of tenders to relatives and cronies.
Ward reps are also angry with the governor, saying she failed to sack Philip Mumo, the county Trade Executive whose impeachment motion was last year passed by the Assembly.
On Saturday, the MCAs met in Mwingi town to firm up the impeachment plan, believed to have the support of Wiper Party leadership led by Kitui Senator Enock Wambua, and Mwingi Central MP Gideon Mulyungi, among others.
Ngilu blamed Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for her woes, saying he was out to make the county ungovernable.
