be forwarded to the relevant government agencies for investigation.
On Monday, Governor Alfred Mutua accused MCAs of impeaching the deputy governor to hide their corrupt dealings.
The MCAs led by Matungulu's Cosmas Masesi said Maliti had failed to discharge his duties at the helm of the Finance docket.
Masesi said under Maliti's watch, the county had failed to raise its revenue target of Sh1.7 billion.
However, Mutua said there has been a push by the leadership of the county assembly to blackmail the executive.
