Meru County Deputy Governor Isaac Mutuma M’Ethingia is set to succeed Kawira Mwangaza, whose court upheld her impeachment.
The High Court, on March 14, 2025, upheld the Senate’s decision to impeach Kawira Mwangaza, stating that the Senate did not violate any court orders during the impeachment.
The government, through the Chairperson of the Assumption of the Office of the Governor Committee, therefore announced that Mutuma would replace her.
“It is notified for information of the General Public that the swearing-in ceremony of Isaac Mutuma M’Ethingia as Governor of Meru County shall take place on Monday, March 17, 2025, at Mwendantu Grounds, starting at 8:30 am”, part of the notice read.
Mutuma holds a Higher Diploma in Forensic Psychology and Criminology from the Kenya Institute of Studies in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology from Kenya Methodist University.
Before getting elected as Meru County deputy governor, he served as a Senior Officer in the Kenya Prisons Service.
The deputy governor is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Governance and Ethics at Mount Kenya University.
