Waititu impeachment should serve as a warning it is not business as usual

Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu’s impeachment was upheld by the Senate on Wednesday this week. This was after Kiambu Members of County Assembly (MCAs) overwhelmingly voted to impeach him in December 2019.

Waititu’s impeachment process, just like the others before him, provides ample proof that our democracy can work. Further proof of the potential of our democracy was seen in the Senate’s decision to have the whole House listen to and vote at the end of Waititu’s defence, instead of a select committee that some feared could easily have been swayed.
