The impeachment of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has heralded the resurgence of tussles between governors and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) under the President William Ruto administration.

In the previous President Uhuru Kenyatta regime, ouster motions at the county assemblies became the norm rather than the exception with former county bosses Mike Sonko (Nairobi), Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu) and Mohamed Abdi (Wajir) getting the sack while others such as Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Granton Samboja (Taita Taveta) and Anne Waiguru (Kirinyaga) survived by a whisker.
