The Court of Appeal has nullified the Senate's recommendation to impeach Embu Governor Martin Wambora.

Sitting in Nairobi yesterday, the Court of Appeal overruled the High Court's decision to kick the governor out. Justices John Mwera, Hannah Okwengu and GBM Kariuki ruled that there was no clear evidence that Mr Wambora acted in gross violation of the Constitution, warranting his impeachment.
