A motion to impeach Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has formally been tabled at the county assembly.
Sixty eight MCAs have signed the petition. One has absconded the exercise.
There are 69 MCAs.
The motion was tabled by Abogeta MCA Dennis Kiogora who is also the Minority leader.
This has emerged even as the House through an advert invited for views from the public on the impending impeachment motion.
The public participation is a result of a motion filed by a Meru resident, Salesio Thuranira, seeking to have her ousted for alleged abuse of authority and gross misconduct.
Grounds listed for her removal are nepotism, illegal appointments, unlawful dismissals and usurpation of the constitutional and statutory functions of county organs.
Others are incitement, bullying, vilification, misleading campaigns against other leaders, forceful entry into the assembly precincts and mobilisation of unlawful riots against MCAs.
She is also accused of violating public finance management laws and misconduct relating to the nomination of CECs.
In an affidavit, the MCA has attached various documents to back his claims arguing this has been occasioned by complaints.
They include deployment and dismissal letters.
"On or around November 14, I began collecting and collating evidence to support the motion. This was inspired by complaints from the public and Meru residents about multiple discreditable facts on the part of the governor," he said.
Also attached are transcripts and English translations of utterances alleged to have been made by the county chief in various events.
A letter from EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak to Mwangaza concerning the complaints raised is also part of the crucial documents tabled.
