PUBLIC NOTICE | TRANSPARENCY MATTERS

Residents of Taita Taveta County are seeking clarification following the recent appearance of Governor Dr. Andrew Mwadime before the Senate to answer Auditor-General queries.

While we recognise that all governors are required to appear before the Senate, concerns have arisen because this particular session was not broadcast live, unlike similar sessions involving other governors.

In the interest of transparency and public accountability, we respectfully ask:
• Was the session a committee or plenary sitting?
• Why was it not aired publicly?
• How can residents access the official proceedings or findings?

This call is not accusatory. It reflects citizens’ constitutional right to information and the need to build public trust through openness.

We urge the Senate and the County Government of Taita Taveta to provide clarity and make the relevant records public.
Transparency strengthens confidence in leadership.

STATEMENT ON THE IMPEACHMENT OF HON. WISDOM KAZUNGU MWAMBURI, SPEAKER OF THE COUNTY ASSEMBLY

This is the list of MCAs who actively supported and voted for the impeachment of Hon. Wisdom Kazungu Mwamburi.
Following the court award of eight (8) months’ salary to Hon. Mwamburi, we strongly oppose the use of public funds to settle costs arising from a reckless and politically motivated process.

Taxpayers (datuzens) must not be punished for the personal and collective failures of the Honourable Members who engineered this crisis.

Justice and fairness demand that the financial burden be recovered from the salaries and allowances of the MCAs who supported the impeachment. They created this problem, and they must take responsibility for its consequences.

Furthermore, the Acting Speaker, the nominated MCA who moved the motion, the Clerk of the Assembly, and two other individuals who misled the House must face the heaviest political and administrative consequences.

Their actions undermined the integrity of the Assembly and exposed the County to unnecessary legal and financial risk.

Our County cannot continue bleeding resources through avoidable power struggles and irresponsible leadership. Public office must serve the people — not ego, politics, or personal vendettas.

Enough is enough. Accountability must prevail.

We congratulate the WIPER nominated MCA Hon Rose Shingira aka for moving the motion of impeaching the County Speaker Hon Wisdom Mwamburi.

This was her milestone and only motion in the house for the last 10 years she has served as County nominated MCA.

The impeachment has been overturned by the court and Hon Wisdom has been reinstated as the substansive and legitimate County speaker. He has also been awarded full salaries from the time he was illegally impeached in July 2024.

Ahsante Hon Kalonzo Musyoka for giving us this wonderful leader.

Ni k**a amefunga pingu za maisha na kiti cha nomination hapa Taita Taveta?!
