| Embu Governor Martin Wambora |
Embu, Kenya: The drama surrounding besieged Embu Governor Martin Wambora is far from over. Wambora now says he was impeached to serve as a sacrificial lamb in the supremacy wars between senators and governors.
Through senior counsels Paul Muite and Ahamednasir Abdulalahi, the governor claimed the Senate merely rubber-stamped his impeachment by the Embu County Assembly to certify senators' quest to intimidate governors. Muite, who was arguing Wambora's case before the Court of Appeal in Nyeri said the Kerugoya High Court, which reinstated Wambora in April, ought to have protected him from the second impeachment.
