Embu, Kenya: If there is a governor who, quite arguably, has never enjoyed his time in office, then it is Embu’s Martin Nyaga Wambora. Faced with a hostile County Assembly, Wambora has literally spent almost his entire first year in office fighting for political survival.
It is a struggle that has made him a regular face in the corridors of justice, shuttling between courts in Embu, Kerugoya, Nyeri and Nairobi seeking to overturn his sacking by Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). The Embu County Aseembly has impeached Wambora twice.
