The Senate has upheld the decision to remove Kisii Deputy Governor Robert Monda from office, following a proposal by 53 members of the county assembly. Monda faced impeachment on multiple grounds, including gross misconduct, constitutional violations, abuse of office, and breaches of national laws. These charges were all approved by the Senate, which subsequently voted in favour of his impeachment.

The proceedings regarding Monda’s removal took place amidst significant public attention and scrutiny. The embattled deputy governor, who comes from a medical background, faced accusations that spanned a range of alleged misconduct during his tenure in office. The Senate’s decision to uphold his impeachment signifies a significant development in the political landscape of Kisii County.

The impeachment process began when 53 members of the county assembly passed a motion to remove Monda from office on February 29. The grounds for impeachment were carefully outlined, citing serious infractions that warranted his removal from the position of deputy governor.

The matter was then brought before the Senate for deliberation and a final decision. The Senate’s plenary hearings commenced on March 13, where members thoroughly examined the evidence and arguments presented against Monda. Ultimately, the majority of senators found him guilty of the charges brought against him, leading to his impeachment.

During the voting process in the Senate, the accusations against Monda were assessed individually. On the charge of gross violation of the constitution or any other law, 39 senators voted against Monda, while three attempted to defend him. One senator abstained from voting on this particular charge. Similarly, on the accusation of abuse of office, 39 senators sided with the county assembly’s decision, with three senators dissenting.

Regarding gross misconduct, 35 senators found Monda guilty, with seven senators voting against the charge. Additionally, on crimes under national law, 32 senators found the deputy governor guilty, while 10 senators opposed this finding.

Monda’s impeachment marks a significant event in Kisii County’s political history, as he becomes the first deputy governor to be successfully impeached since the inception of devolution. The Senate’s decision reflects a commitment to upholding accountability and integrity within the county’s leadership structures.
