Kalama MCA Threatens Impeachment Motion Against Governor Wavinya

The issue was first raised publicly by popular Kamba musician Ken wa Maria, who questioned the circumstances surrounding the Sammy Kioko case and sought answers from the county leadership.

On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Governor Wavinya responded to the concerns, saying she does not handle procurement matters in the county government.

“I don’t deal with county procurement. That’s not my work,” the governor said.

However, the statement sparked criticism from some leaders, including Kalama MCA Hon. Maeke.

Speaking on Thursday, March 5, 2026, Maeke said the governor’s remarks raised serious concerns about leadership and accountability in the county. According to him, while procurement processes may be handled by specific departments, the governor remains the overall head of the county government and should be aware of how such functions are carried out.

Maeke argued that leaders cannot distance themselves from key government processes that affect public resources and service delivery.

Frustrated by the response, the MCA announced that he will move a motion in the Machakos County Assembly on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, seeking a vote of no confidence against the governor.

If tabled, the motion could trigger intense debate within the assembly as members consider whether the governor’s remarks reflect a misunderstanding of her role or a broader governance concern.

The matter has since stirred discussion among residents and leaders in Machakos, with many calling for clarity and accountability in the management of county affairs.
