Former Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria has been clear the allegations that he is unfit to serve as Chairman of the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Regulatory Authority (PPADRA) board.
The petition which had been filed by Kiroko Ndegwa, sought to block the former governor’s appointment.
The petitioner cited the past impeachment and ongoing graft and asset forfeiture cases.
He argued that the former governor’s history of alleged embezzlement, misuse of office, and unresolved integrity issues made him ineligible for public office.
However, the court noted that Wa Iria served as Murang’a County governor between 2013 and 2017 and was impeached by the County Assembly in 2017.
Later on, the Senate overturned the impeachment, finding that the violations did not meet the threshold for removal.
