UPDATE
NYAMIRA GOVERNOR AMOS NYARIBO DENIES ALL CHARGES LEVELLED AGAINST HIM
Nyamira County Governor Amos Nyaribo has denied all charges brought against him by the Nyamira County Assembly.

Appearing before the Senate plenary on the first day of hearings into his proposed removal from office through impeachment, Governor Nyaribo denied all accusations as read to him by the Senate Deputy Clerk, Mr Mohamed Ali.

In the first charge, Governor Nyaribo is accused of engaging in, endorsing and supporting the unlawful and unconstitutional Bunge Mashinani initiative, giving illegal assent to the Nyamira County Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2024, and making an unlawful appointment of Dr Peris Nyaboke Oroko, also known as Peris Mongare, as a County Executive Committee Member.

It is further alleged that the Governor illegally appointed members of the Municipal Boards of Nyamira and Keroka, unlawfully constituted a Selection Panel for the County Public Service Board (CPSB) and failed to appoint the Chairperson, Secretary and Members of the CPSB.

The County Assembly also accuses Governor Nyaribo of failing to deliver the State of the County Address and Annual Reports and of failing to comply with court orders regarding the appointment of Mr Clive Ogwora to the County Executive Committee.

On the charge of abuse of office, the Assembly faults the Governor for conducting staff recruitment without budgetary provision, influencing irregular appointments of senior human resource officials and enriching himself through irregular salary arrears.

Members of the Assembly further cite a payroll fraud syndicate that allegedly resulted in the loss of public funds, the Governor’s involvement in dual appointments outside the lawful establishment, and the usurpation of the powers of the Auditor-General and the CPSB.

Governor Nyaribo is also accused of unlawfully suspending the Secretary of the CPSB.

The Senate is set to consider and determine a Preliminary Objection, a decision that will determine whether the proceedings continue or are halted. The Governor’s side has already raised an objection seeking to stop the process, arguing that the impeachment does not meet the required threshold.

Through his legal team, led by Advocate Elias Mutuma, the Governor has urged Senators not to allow the Motion to proceed.

“What you have is a lifeless Motion that cannot be entertained. Senators have many important matters to attend to rather than deal with this stillborn issue,” submitted Mr Mutuma.

However, the County Assembly’s legal team, led by Senior Counsel Katwa Kigen, dismissed the objection and appealed to Senators to allow the Motion to proceed.

“It is our argument that you allow the Motion to proceed, as the impeachment attained the required threshold,” submitted Mr Kigen.

Speaker Kingi will issue a ruling on the Preliminary Objection during Wednesday afternoon’s sitting.

UPDATE:
SENATOR MUTINDA SEEKS EXPLANATION ON SHORTAGE OF DEXAMETHASONE AND SURFACTANT DRUGS
Senator Tabitha Mutinda (nominated ) has raised alarm over a growing shortage of dexamethasone and surfactant drugs in public health facilities across the country.
While seeking a statement from the Senate Standing Committee on Health, the senator termed the situation a national concern, noting that the shortage is putting pregnant women and newborns at heightened risk.
Senator Mutinda emphasized that dexamethasone is critical in managing imminent preterm birth, accelerating fetal lung maturity and significantly improving neonatal survival rates. Surfactant, on the other hand, is administered to preterm infants shortly after delivery to support lung function and prevent fatal complications.
“The absence of these drugs in our public hospitals exposes vulnerable mothers and infants to preventable dangers. We must urgently establish why the supply chain has collapsed and what corrective measures are being taken,” she stated.
Senator Mutinda reiterated that safeguarding maternal health remains a constitutional obligation and urged the Senate to prioritize accountability within the national medical supply system.

UPDATE:
CJ KOOME CALLS FOR EAST AFRICAN COLLABORATION TO STRENGTHEN MULTI-DOOR APPROACH TO JUSTICE
Chief Justice Martha Koome has called for deeper regional collaboration to strengthen the multi-door approach to justice across East Africa and address challenges affecting the region’s justice system.

Speaking during the official opening of the 22nd East Africa Magistrates and Judges Association (EAMJA) Annual Conference—held under the theme “Justice Beyond Brick and Mortar: Unlocking Multi-Door Pathways for People-Centred Justice in East Africa”—the Chief Justice noted that although each East African country is taking its own path toward people-centred justice, the challenges and opportunities remain strikingly similar.

“Legislative challenges, resource constraints, community engagement gaps, capacity limitations, and the need for sustainable investment in technology and training affect us all. It is precisely for this reason that regional collaboration remains critical and indispensable. EAMJA provides us a rare and valuable space for reflection, peer learning, and collective problem-solving,” CJ Koome said.

She called for a shared regional commitment to refine and strengthen multi-door justice approaches, including supporting jurisdictions whose Alternative Justice Systems (AJS), mediation frameworks, and specialised court systems are still at early stages of development. This, she emphasised, would ensure countries advance together in laying firm foundations for people-centred justice, harmonising regional standards, promoting joint training for judicial officers, mediators, and AJS practitioners, and deepening inter-country partnerships.

Justice Koome noted that this year’s theme speaks directly to a critical moment for the region, where the legitimacy of East Africa’s justice systems increasingly depends on their ability to serve people where they are, in ways they understand, and through mechanisms that respond to their lived realities.

“For many of our people, the formal court system remains slow, costly, distant, or intimidating. Increasing caseloads strain our institutions, and our citizens still feel disconnected from justice systems designed to serve them,” she observed.

The Chief Justice said that, given the justice needs of citizens, people-centred justice has emerged not merely as an aspiration but as a necessity. It requires shifting the lens from viewing the Judiciary as the sole avenue for dispute resolution to expanding access to justice through multiple pathways tailored to diverse community needs.

“The movement toward people-centred justice challenges us to rethink not only how we deliver justice, but where, with whom, and through what means. It requires us to see justice not as a place where people go, but as a public good that must be available in community spaces, through dialogue, and through innovative mechanisms that respect culture, dignity, and agency,” she said.
CJ Koome highlighted that Alternative Justice Systems (AJS), court-annexed mediation, and specialized courts are already transforming the justice experience for millions across the region. These platforms, she added, enhance access to justice, restore relationships, empower communities, and build trust in the Judiciary as a partner in addressing daily challenges.

“The shift toward people-centred justice demands that we adopt this broader identity with courage and imagination. It challenges us to re-design processes so that our justice systems bend towards the realities of ordinary lives, rather than requiring ordinary lives to bend towards the rigidities of our systems,” she added.
Deputy President Prof Kithure Kindiki who graced the event called for judicial systems that function not as barriers, but as open doorways through which fairness, dignity, and economic opportunity can flow to every corner of our region.

He noted that across East Africa, many people still experience formal courts as distant, slow, costly, or intimidating spaces adding that for millions, especially women, youth, small entrepreneurs, and rural communities, the justice system appears more like a fortress than a support structure.

The Deputy President however cautioned that while expanding these alternative pathways, the courts must uphold safeguards to ensure that expediency never substitutes for fairness.

“Gender-sensitive guidelines, human rights protections, appellate pathways, and constitutional guardrails must form the backbone of all multi-door justice initiatives.”

He assured that Kenya stands ready to work hand-in-hand with all Judiciaries across the region to harness and share experiences in order to build judicial systems that listen to citizens, respect their dignity, and deliver justice fairly and expeditiously.

EXPOSED: HOUSE AUDIT COMMITTEE WANTS DCI TO HASTEN INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE EMBEZZLEMENT OF KSH. 100MILLION NG-CDF FUNDS BY FORMER KAITI CONSTITUENCY MANAGER DANIEL MALUKI
Mismanagement of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), involves significant issues such as a lack of proper documentation for expenditures, misuse of bursary funds for non-existent students and poor ex*****on of development projects.

Recent audits by the Auditor General have highlighted these problems, revealing that large sums of money allocated for projects and education have been unaccounted for or spent without receipts, leading to a lack of transparency and accountability.

For a better Kaiti, the Decentralized Funds Accounts Committee wants the former Kaiti Constituency NG-CDF Account Manager Daniel Maluki arrested, even as investigations into the reported embezzlement of kshs. 100 Million NG-CDF Funds in 2021/2022 continue.

The Committee chaired by Hon. (Dr.) Gideon Mulyungi last week met with the former manager, in a follow up session to determine the circumstances under which Kshs. 18,158,000 was used for irregular Payment of Allowances, and Kshs. 81,341,700 was used for irregular payment of Imprests.

According to the report of the Office of the Auditor General, the irregular imprest payments were made out of the main account to three (3) officers namely:Fund Manager, National Government Constituency Development Fund Committee Chairman and District Treasury Cashier amounting to Kshs. 34,844,700,Kshs. 31,736,000 and Kshs.14,761,000,respectively resulting to 66%of the funds irregularly spent.

“As a Fund Manager, was it within your mandate to withdraw and pay all these monies in cash, what prompted this questionable move?” Posed Hon. Mburu Kahangara, MP (Lari).

According to Mr. Maluki, who is now retired and lectures at a local University, the money in question was used for public participation to determine potential beneficiaries of CDF and NHIF. Raising concerns from the MPs how Kshs. 100 Million was used for such an activity.

“It is very clear that these people colluded to withdraw this money and defraud the public.” Said Hon. Dorothy Muthoni, MP (Meru).
Adding their voices to the calls for haste in conclusion of the ongoing investigations into the matter by the DCI, the Committee Members termed the matter as an open case of embezzlement of Public Funds.

“This issue is a clear case of open theft of Public Funds, so the relevant agencies must conclusively handle the matter, and furnish Parliament with the findings.” Stated Hon. James Koyoo MP,( Muhoroni).

Adding her voice to the discussion, Elgeyo Marakwet Woman Representative Hon. Caroline Ng’elechei urged the Committee and Parliament as a whole to set an example by taking stern action against NG-CDF Managers who misuse or steal public money.

“Such errant officers should not be walking freely among us, he should be in prison even as investigations continue and serve as an example to others.” Said Hon. Ng’elechei.
In his submissions to the MPs, the former Manager claimed that they undertook Public Participation in five separate meetings in each of the 14 locations in Kaiti Constituency.

But the Committee observed that spending Kshs. 100 Million in 70 meetings was not viable, and demanded that his accomplices and him are held accountable.
“We need to hear from the DCI how far these investigations have gone, and whatever other information the manager is withholding.” Said Hon. Martin Pepela Wanyonyi, MP (Webuye East).

The chairperson Hon. Mulyungi in his concluding remarks; directed that the Committee shall have a joint sitting with the three individuals who withdrew the money, alongside the DCI, CDF Committee Members, and the District Accountant Cashier to determine the way forward on the matter.
