Senate Holds Impeachment Trial for Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo - December 2025

The Kenyan Senate altered its calendar to convene on Wednesday to address the impeachment charges against Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo. Senators held a closed-door meeting in Nairobi before the trial began to establish the rules for the impeachment proceedings. During his trial before the Senate, Governor Amos Nyaribo pleaded not guilty to all impeachment charges brought against him by Members of County Assembly (MCAs). He claimed the impeachment vote in the Kisii County Assembly did not meet the required threshold. The Senate's hearing accommodates extended morning and afternoon sittings to address the charges.
