03.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Nyaribo Survived Impeachment
⌨
Kenyan media extensively covered the third impeachment attempt against Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo throughout the day. Early reports indicated the Senate trial was underway, with Nyaribo denying charges of misconduct and mismanagement. By the late afternoon and early evening, headlines confirmed Nyaribo's survival of the impeachment bid, as senators upheld preliminary objections regarding the county assembly's numerical threshold for the motion. This development overshadowed other significant news, including President Ruto's diplomatic trip to Washington for a DRC-Rwanda peace agreement signing. The day also saw continued focus on allegations of KDF theft regarding a seized meth haul and the arrest of suspects linked to a gang rape in Meru.
