NAIROBI: Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria was let off the hook by the Senate last evening after a committee investigating him declared that the accusations against him did not meet the threshold for impeachment.

The special committee that had been appointed to investigate him rejected recommendations from the Murang’a County Assembly that he should be impeached for various violations of the law.
