The Senate is poised to decide the political fate of Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo as they commence proceedings on his impeachment motion. This marks the sixth such motion before the current Senate.

• Previous impeachment attempts saw Governors Abdi Hassan (Isiolo) and Erick Mutai (Kericho), and Deputy Governor William Oduol (Siaya) saved.
• Conversely, Governor Kawira Mwangaza (Meru) and Deputy Governor Robert Monda (Kisii) did not survive their impeachment proceedings.
• The outcome will determine if Nyaribo's political career is buried or saved by the Senate.

Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo pleaded not guilty to impeachment charges as his hearing commenced in the Senate on December 3, 2025. This marks his third impeachment attempt, with disputes arising over the validity of the County Assembly's voting threshold for the motion.

• Governor Amos Nyaribo faces allegations of gross violation of the Constitution and abuse of office.
• The MCAs cited his endorsement of Bunge Mashinani sittings, support for Speaker Enock Okero, and unilateral decisions including assenting to the Supplementary Appropriations Bill 2024.
• Further accusations include failing to deliver the State of the County Address for two years, authorizing a Sh5 million salary arrears payment to himself, and recruiting 358 staff at an annual cost of Sh325 million despite advice against it.
• Lawyers debated whether the County Assembly met the required 24 votes for impeachment, with Nyaribo’s lawyer arguing only 23 votes were cast, while the prosecution claimed 22 votes were sufficient due to three vacant seats.
• The Senate will determine whether to proceed with the hearings, opting to resolve the matter in plenary rather than through a special committee.

Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo narrowly escaped impeachment by the Senate on December 3, 2025, after senators rejected the motion on a technicality. This outcome mirrors similar decisions that saved governors in Kericho and Isiolo from removal.

• 23 MCAs supported the impeachment motion against Governor Nyaribo.
• Governor Nyaribo was represented by lawyers Ombui Ratemo and Brian Muriithi.
• The charges against Governor Nyaribo included gross violation of the Constitution and abuse of office.
