Nyamira Governor, Amos Nyaribo, is set to face a second impeachment starting Tuesday, September 10.

In an impeachment motion seen by Gossipa2z.com, the Speaker of the County approved the notice of the motion against him that called for the motion against him to be heard from 2:30 pm.
The motion was filed by Evans Juma a member of the County Assembly, on the grounds of gross violation of the Constitution of Kenya. He is accused of abuse of office and gross misconduct.
In October 2023, Governor Nyaribo survived an impeachment attempt. In the motion, 16 MCAs voted for his ouster while 18 voted against it.
