Senate Holds Impeachment Hearing for Kericho Governor Eric Mutai - August 2025

The Senate is hearing the impeachment motion against Kericho Governor Dr. Eric Mutai, who is facing an impeachment trial over serious accusations. The proceedings stem from the county assembly's use of a contested text-based or digital voting platform, which the governor contends was valid while MCAs dispute its legitimacy. During the third day of the hearing, ward representatives alleged embezzlement of public funds and abuse of power, actively seeking to convince Senators to remove him from office. The Senate is set to decide Governor Mutai's fate following a vote audit report and the conclusion of hearing from his witnesses.
