The Senate will hold a special sitting on Wednesday afternoon to consider the impeachment charges against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

In a special gazette notice, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi convened a special sitting to consider the allegations against Mwangaza.

The speaker revealed that he received a letter from the Speaker of the County Assembly of Meru dated August 9.

Senators will begin by voting on whether to hear the matter in plenary or form a special committee to investigate the allegations leveled against Mwangaza.

If the Senators vote to go to the Special Committee, the team will have to report on whether it has been able to substantiate any of the charges.

Mwangaza was impeached for the third time last week following allegations of gross violations of the constitution, gross misconduct, and abuse of office.
