"This afternoon, I was delighted to meet with the Cabinet to discuss and advance key initiatives to address pressing issues within our county," she said.
How senators voted to impeach Mwangaza
This development follows the Senate's confirmation of the impeachment of Mwangaza on Wednesday, August 21, a decision initially made by the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).
The MCAs accused Mwangaza of abuse of office, gross misconduct, and violations of the constitution and other laws.
The Senate concluded its deliberations, with most leaders finding Mwangaza guilty on all counts.
The process was not without controversy, as some senators criticized Speaker Amason Kingi for not allowing enough time for voting, particularly for those attending the sessions virtually.
However, the High Court temporarily suspended Mwangaza's impeachment after she challenged the Senate plenary's decision late Tuesday, August 20, to uphold her removal from office.
In a ruling seen by TUKO.co.ke, Justice Bahati Mwamuye suspended the Senate resolution until the case is heard and determined.
The judge further restrained Senate Speaker Amason Kingi from gazetting Mwangaza's impeachment.
