Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has lauded the Senate for saving Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza from impeachment.

Ms Kihika took to her social media to celebrate Ms Mwangaza's triumph at the Senate where she termed the senators' decision as just and fair.

Governor Mwangaza survived her second impeachment attempt after a motion seeking her ouster was shot down by majority senators following a two-day long debate at the Senate.

The senators dismissed all the charges levelled against Ms Mwangaza by the Members of the Meru county assembly.

Reacting to the decision, Governor Kihika thanked the senators for what she said was maintaining sobriety.

"There is a God in heaven who is just and fair. To the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, Thank you for following your conscience and doing what is right," read part of her post on Facebook.

Ms Kihika however encouraged her besieged counterpart to continue with her work at the county wished her well.

"My sister Governor Mwangaza more grace! Continue serving the people of Meru county. It is well," she noted.

Governor Mwangaza was impeached for the second time last week by the county assembly members who unanimously voted in support of her ouster motion.

Some of the allegations levelled against her were misappropriation of funds, nepotism, bullying, illegal appointments, contempt of court, illegal naming of her husband road and contempt of MCAs.
