Senate Rejects Special Committee to Hear Charges Against Meru Governor Mwangaza, Opts for Plenary Route

Senators allied to President Ruto shot down motion to establish special committee to hear charges against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

Fate of Governor Mwangaza now lies with Senate plenary after Kenya Kwanza senators rejected special committee.

Minority Whip Ledama Olekina rallied Senate to support special committee, arguing it's more thorough.

Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot led calls to go plenary route, saying both processes fair and deliver best results.

Mwangaza faces 7 charges including misuse of county resources, nepotism, illegal appointments, contempt of court.
