On the charge of abuse of office, 39 Senators voted in favor, three voted against, and one abstained, while 35 Senators found the DG guilty of gross misconduct, with only three voting to save him.
Monda also lost on the fourth charge, with 34 senators finding him guilty of committing crimes under national law and ten finding him not guilty.
This is after Joseph Misati, the father of the main witness, Dennis Misati, appeared to testify in his favor, causing many senators to be outraged by the public display of family feuds.
The Senate Majority Whip, Dr Bonny Khalwale, moved the motion to impeach the Deputy Governor, arguing that, while the crimes had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt, the deputy governor would likely have received the bribes.
