A Case for Increasing the Impeachment Threshold for Governors

Its is sad and must be condemned thoroughly, the action by Kericho Senator Keter to subvert efforts by the Kericho Governor to seek judicial interpretation on the roles of the County Executive versus County Assembly! After numerous functional conflicts with the County Assembly, the Good Governor of Kericho County decided to file a constitutional case to obtain a judicial interpretation of the functions of the two arms of government at the county level. In panic or some such such untoward reasons, the Members of the County Assembly decided to give notice of impeaching the Governor on the grounds of inter alia, insubordination! The Senator, Hon. Keter, then step in to loudly mediate by getting the Governor to withdraw the public impact judicial case in exchange for the MCAs withdrawing the impeachment- an obvious blackmail act by the MCAs. Shame on you Hon Keter! Shame on you Kericho MCAs! Truth be told,Many more County Assemblies are engaging in this blackmail of the County Executives, only that its not coming to the public. In the foregoing, I propose that the impeachment process of Governors be raised by the Senate to be proportionate in benchmarks to that of the President. The MCAs must be managed to provide political leadership not to practice rogue blackmail on the County Executives! Do you feel me?
