Former nominated senator Millicent Omanga has weighed in on the ongoing hearing of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza's impeachment.
Omanga said the charges against Mwangaza lack the strength that would warrant impeachment.
"I find the impeachment charges against Governor Kawira Mwangaza as insubstantial - lacking strength and solidity," she tweeted.
Azimio spokesperson Makau Mutua had also weighed in on the matter saying he was not impressed by how Mwangaza has run Meru affairs since her election but he sees no violation in her leadership that would amount to an impeachment.
"I'm not impressed by how Governor Kawira Mwangaza has run Meru County thus far, but she hasn’t committed a single impeachable offence," he said in a statement on social media.
Mutua said impeachment is a serious activity and must be approached with great care.
The committee will hold the hearings for two days before retreating to write its verdict based on the evidence adduced.
Kawira was on December 14 impeached by 67 of the 69 MCAs that were present in the Meru County Assembly.
The ward reps accused the governor of gross misconduct and abuse of office, all broken down to five charges.
On Tuesday, Kawira denied all the charges before the special committee saying she is a victim of blackmail.
The MCAs accused her of committing at least one constitutional violation on each of the 64 days she has been in power.
They said within that period, Kawira committed 62 violations of the Constitution.
