Nyamira County Governor Amos Nyaribo has been removed from office by the County Assembly for the third time, following repeated allegations of mismanagement and irregularities during his tenure. The motion, passed by the MCAs, comes amid mounting concerns over governance and transparency in the county, with residents and political observers closely watching the developments.
Governor Nyaribo’s impeachment follows a series of controversies, including irregular staff appointments, alleged misuse of public funds, and exclusion from key county development projects. Despite previous attempts to retain office through legal challenges, the County Assembly reaffirmed its decision, citing a need to uphold accountability and restore public confidence in local governance. The political stalemate has further complicated the county’s development agenda, as several infrastructure and service delivery programs await stable leadership for effective implementation.
The ouster has sparked mixed reactions across Nyamira, with some residents welcoming the decision as a step toward accountability, while others express concern over potential political instability. Legal experts indicate that Nyaribo may seek judicial recourse, but the Assembly’s repeated action signals strong legislative resolve. Looking ahead, the county now faces the challenge of appointing a caretaker leadership or conducting a by-election, with the hope that new leadership will prioritize transparency, effective development, and service delivery for Nyamira residents.
