Waiguru's take

In May Governor Waiguru accused the MCAs of dwelling on petty issues instead of focusing on the war against the coronavirus pandemic.

"It is unfortunate that at a time when the country, and indeed the whole world, is focused on dealing with coronavirus pandemic, some MCAs have opted to dwell on pettiness and political brinkmanship of filing a frivolous motion to impeach me without any foundation," her statement read.

"Every Kenyan knows what all these impeachments are about. I will not concede to illegal requests for tenders and money," she continued.
