IMPEACHED: Senate removes corrupt Wajir County Governor Mohamed Abdi

Wajir County Governor Mohamed Abdi Mohamud has been impeached after senators voted to remove him from the office following an impeachment motion against him by the county assembly.

Twenty-five (25) senators on Monday May 17^th  voted for the removal motion on grounds of gross violation of the Constitution despite most of the senators discrediting the grounds of his ouster before the vote.

During the roll-call vote, 25 voted for his ouster, two (2) against while four (4) abstained from the vote.

Wajir Members of County Assembly impeached Governor Mohamud on April 27 accusing him of having flouted the County Government Act, Public Procurement Act and Asset Disposal Act and the Public Finance Management Act.
