Today, August 29, Kericho Governor Erick Mutai faces a crucial vote as the Senate deliberates on an impeachment motion against him. This marks the second time in less than a year that Governor Mutai has faced impeachment charges, initiated by the Kericho County Assembly citing gross violation of the Constitution, misuse of office, and gross misconduct.

• Governor Mutai's fate hinges on whether 24 senators out of a possible 47 elected senators vote for his removal.
• The Senate held a special session to hear testimonies and cross-examinations from both the County Assembly and Mutai’s legal team.
• Mutai's legal team has challenged the validity of the electronic voting system used by Members of the County Assembly, claiming only 29 MCAs legally voted for his removal, not the asserted 33.
