On the RadarThe impeachment hearing of Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo begins today at the Senate.
Nyaribo, who will also appear in person, has lined up four witnesses to support his defence according to a communication sent to the Senate.
The process will formally open tomorrow with the reading of charges leveled against Nyaribo.
He will then be required to enter a plea, either admitting or denying responsibility. Thereafter, the County Assembly, which initiated the impeachment, will present its case first, outlining evidence and arguments to support the governor’s removal from office.
Nyaribo’s defence team will subsequently be granted an opportunity to respond. Once both sides have presented their cases, the Senate will debate the motion before taking a decisive vote on Thursday.
Nyaribo was impeached by 23 MCAs last week, although only 19 were physically present in the chambers.
Three of the MCAs who voted by proxy have since distanced themselves from the vote and are lined up as his witnesses.
Memorial service for Raila’s sister Beryl to held at Consolata Shrine
A memorial service for the late Beryl Lilian Achieng Mungwari Odinga, sister to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, will be held in Nairobi.
The service will be held at Consolata Shrine in Westlands from 2 pm.
Beryl will be laid to rest at Kango Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County, on December 6, 2025.
Beryl, a daughter of Kenya’s first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Mama Mary Ajuma Oginga, died on November 25, 2025, while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital. She was 78.
Despite belonging to one of the country’s most consequential political families, she led a largely private life.
She was the fourth-born in the Odinga family, coming after Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga, Raila, the late Ngire Omuodo Agola, and Dr Akinyi Wenwa.
A teacher and lawyer by training, Beryl broke barriers when she became the first black Town Clerk of Mutare, Zimbabwe.
She chaired the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC), where she had been appointed to the board in January 2020.
