Mr Tuja said the assembly has tried all avenues to reconcile with the governor, even sending religious leaders as emissaries, in vain. “The governor has become a stumbling block in our efforts to resolve the budget impasse, something that the assembly cannot stomach any more," said Tuja. "We have exhausted all avenues available. Our next move is to impeach him.”For More of This and Other Stories, Grab Your Copy of the Standard Newspaper.
