This comes after former Wajir Governor Mohammed Abdi was impeached by the Wajir senate after lengthy hours of sittings.
The governor was "removed from office" after the Senate voted to uphold the findings of the plenary Committee.
Among the issues were brought forth by the Senate committee included; the debilitated health sector within the county as well as the issue of payment of contractors and county employees.
"When the health system of a county is going down and the county gives more than 20 percent of its budget to the health sector and you're hearing strikes by county employees and then you're told the majority of the equipment is not working especially in the Covid-19 period where Ksh194 million was given to the governor to cater to this issue. Based on that, we state that is a gross violation and we would like the House to agree with the committee," Omogeni stated.
