Embattled Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza will face her moment of truth on August 19 when the Senate begins her impeachment hearing.

According to a Gazette Notice by Speaker Amason Kingi, the trial will take place for two days.

"Special sittings of the Senate to hear the charges against Hon Kawira Mwangaza, Governor of Meru County, seeking her removal from office through impeachment, will be held on Monday, August 19, 2024 and Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in the Senate Chamber by way of Plenary." 

The plenary will try the governor after Senators voted last week to defeat a motion that sought to set up an 11-member select committee to hear her case.

Mwangaza has been impeached for the third time in two years, after MCAs voted in favour of the ouster motion on August 8.
