Senate to Hear Governor Nyaribo's Impeachment Amid Forgery Allegations - December 2025

The Kenyan Senate is set to convene on Wednesday to address the impeachment charges against Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo. To accommodate the hearing, the Senate has altered its calendar for morning and extended afternoon sittings. Governor Nyaribo faces charges that include gross misconduct and abuse of office, and he has unveiled a seven-member legal team for his defense. The impeachment proceedings have been complicated by a new development, as three Members of the Nyamira County Assembly filed a forgery complaint. These MCAs deny participating in the impeachment vote and have accused the assembly of forging their signatures.
