 Further, he revealed that he and President William Ruto will not interfere with the leadership wrangles being witnessed in the county.

Governor Mwangaza and the local MCAS have been at odds about who would run the county, with the MCAs threatening to file a second impeachment motion to remove Mwangaza from office.

However, Mwangaza has dared the MCAs to introduce the impeachment motion, claiming it will be unsuccessful.

Issac Mutuma, his deputy, also voiced his displeasure with the governor, complaining that the county lacks leadership.

“When you see a Meru man getting overwhelmed with emotions. It has not been easy. It has been a one tough year for me,” stated Mutuma.

The area MCAs have been blaming Governor Mwangaza for not involving them in major decision-making for the county.

In December 2022, Governor Mwangaza survived her first impeachment motion from Meru MCAs by the senate special committee.
