Deputy Governors Forum Sue Over Impeachment

The forum says it will be moving to court over the impeachment of Embu Governor Martin Wambora together with his deputy

The forum comprising deputy governors from all the country's 47 counties wants the Supreme Court to interpret whether an impeachment of a Governor also affects his or her deputy

The forum is also seeking to have procedures for impeaching a deputy Governor clearly stipulated and to thie end, they are proposing changes to the law

Speaking to the press at Serena, Deputy Governors Council Chairlady Evelyn Aruasa said that there needs to be clear procedures for the removal of Deputy Governors

She added that there is need for the law to stipulate funcions of the same office.

The forum is irked by a move by the Embu County Assembly to send home both the Governor and his deputy

The forum says the removal of a Governor should not necessarily lead to the removal from office of his deputy
