Kericho Governor Eric Mutai has vehemently denied his impeachment by the County Assembly, telling the Senate the move was a politically motivated plot driven by the Speaker's ambition to unseat him. He argued the process was procedurally flawed, with key reports only shared after impeachment proceedings began.

• Governor Mutai dismissed allegations regarding the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCCA) program, a fictitious payments probe, and the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP).
• He accused the Speaker of the Assembly of orchestrating his removal to become Governor.
• Mutai likened the impeachment attempt to "political murder," citing a previous attempt where vote tallies were allegedly falsified.
