A notice of motion to initiate the impeachment process of Garissa Governor Nathif Jama over alleged gross violation of the Constitution has been presented to the County assembly.
A member of county assembly from the Governor's backyard presented the notice of motion to the house clerk at 11am accompanied by a half of the 40 members of assembly.
Speaking to the press after handing over the notice, Banane ward representative Mohamed Siyad said there was substantial ground for impeachment of the governor, who just recently cemented relations with local MPs who were fighting him.
"I have presented my notice of motion and we are awaiting speaker's approval. The motion is supported by 22 of my colleagues," he said.
The MCAs accuse Governor Jama of gross violation of the constitution and specifically section 54 of the public procurement and disposal act of 2005 and regulation 2013 while further claiming that he has violated the public finance management act 2012.
