The Senate committee probing the grounds for the impeachment of Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza begins its sittings at 10 am.
Members of the committee are already at the Senate Chamber preparing to hear the charges against Kawira.
Kawira is expected at the Chamber to take the plea. She has lined up one witness.
Meru County Assembly on the other hand has been allocated three and a half hours to prosecute its case.
It has lined up three witnesses.
The 11-member committee will determine whether accusations levelled against the governor warrant her removal. The committee has up to December 30 to deliver its findings.
Kawira became the first county boss to be impeached barely three months after being sworn in.
All 67 Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) present during the impeachment session voted to remove her over abuse of office claims.
Abogeta West MCA and Minority Whip Dennis Kiogora accused the governor of nepotism, illegal appointments, unlawful dismissals, usurpation of constitutional and statutory functions, incitement, bullying, vilification and leading campaigns against other leaders.
Other accusations are forced entry into the assembly and mobilising unlawful riots against MCAs, violation of public finance management laws and misconduct relating to the nomination of CECs.
