Nyamira County Governor Amos Kimwomi Nyaribo has been impeached.

Twenty-three of the thirty-one MCAs who attended the session voted in favour of the motion. 

Four others had written to the Speaker asking to be included in the voting.

The motion, tabled in the assembly by Bonyamatuta Ward representative Julius Kimwomi Matwere, cited allegations of abuse of office and violation of legal procedures.

Governor Nyaribo was accused of conducting county activities through unauthorized "Bunge Mashinani" sessions, which were not legally recognized. 

The motion further criticised him for approving and utilizing the county budget to endorse Peris Nyaboke-Oroko as the County Agriculture Minister, a process that occurred during a disputed leadership period in the assembly and outside legal protocols.

Additional allegations included irregular appointments of committee members for Keroka town and the unlawful establishment and approval of a Public Service Board appointment panel through the same informal assembly sessions, which functioned from October 2024 to June 2025
