Governor Natembeya Exposes Ksh5 Million Plot to Impeach Him
Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has declared that he will not back down without a struggle if he faces removal from office.
The outspoken governor made his remarks on Tuesday, alleging that there is a questionable scheme by his political opponents to impeach him because of his outspoken demeanor.
Natembeya stated that his challenges grew after he openly criticized the government regarding the recent wave of abductions.
“There are elements who want to impeach Natembeya. These are the people who are abducting individuals because it reflects a low level of intolerance. Some people believe their opinions are the only ones that should prevail,” he said.
While emphasizing that a small number of individuals should not be able to impeach a leader elected by thousands of voters, Natembeya also asserted that millions have been spent to plot his downfall.
The governor warned that impeaching him would be a tall order, adding, “There are people who want to bring KSh 5 million to bundle me out of office but it will not be a walk in the park. I will make so much noise because no one will instill fear in me.”
“Because of my voice, the abductees were released from where they were being held,” he said.
Natembeya’s remarks came just days after he faced criticism from National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah during the burial of Moses Wetangula’s mother on Friday, January 3.

Ichungโwah accused the governor of causing division within the Western bloc through provocative politics. There were also claims that Natembeya was aligned with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
While maintaining that he had no ties to Gachagua, Natembeya emphasized on Tuesday that the former DP, who was impeached in October 2024, was not his adversary.
“There are those trying to look good before the president by saying that I work with Gachagua. Gachagua and I are not enemies, and we have never spoken about politics. Weโve never spoken on the phone to plan political matters,” Natembeya said.
Natembeya faced significant backlash at the burial, as tensions between him and Wetangula unfolded before the attendees.
In a more shocking turn, the governor was also alleged to have been involved in several disappearances during the previous administration.
