Embu Governor Martin Wambora could face another impeachment motion over alleged slow implementation of development projects if members of the County Assembly (MCAs) make good their threats.
The MCAs have complained that little is going on in the region and accused the governor of refusing to convene a leaders’ meeting to discuss development.
They pointed out that projects such as bridges and roads meant to benefit the residents have stalled, yet the governor is doing nothing to ensure that they are revived.
“The construction of the Kwangochi and Kigumo bridges has stalled while the Mukenyu-Kathangari Road, which passes through rich agricultural, areas is in a deplorable state,” Ruguru-Ngandori Ward Representative Muturi Mwambo, said.
The MCAs gave him a seven-day ultimatum to meet the leaders, failing which he will face their wrath.
“I might sponsor a motion that will shake the entire region if the authority of the legislators and their quest to straighten Governor Wambora’s administration is not respected,” Mr Mwambo said.
Kithimu MCA Michael Njeru claimed that Mr Wambora has been overpowered by cartels that have ensured he does not sit with other elected leaders to chart the way forward in terms of growth.
Meanwhile, Mbeti North MCA Peter Muriithi warned that the Governor might find himself in the same situation he was in in 2013.
“We shall use the same whip we used in 2013 to kick the governor out of office,” Mr Muriithi added.
Speaking in Muthatari village on the outskirts of Embu Town during a funeral of Jubilee activist Wachira Ngiri, the MCAs said the health sector is in shambles, with drug shortages hitting medical facilities
