The embattled Governor Waititu however seems lucky as ODM leaders led by Hon Junet Mohammed came out to defend her against impeachment as the Kirinyaga county governor.
“The plenary gives all the senators an opportunity to engage. The precedent had already been set in Waititu’s case,” said Wetang’ula.
The majority leader in Senate who is serving as the Murang’a Senator revealed that the committee is not final but the decision lies with the Senate who shall determine it’s fate.
“The committee is the best as it gives senators more time to scrutinise the evidence rather than the 67 of us seated in a plenary. Both can be abused but the plenary one is harder. There is less scrutiny in the plenary while the committee one is easier and with more in-depth analysis,” said Mwaura.
