You won’t believe what Meru Governor MWANGAZA is doing to her Deputy ISAAC MUTUMA – This woman is a bully

Thursday, February 29, 2024 - A fresh row is brewing in Meru County after Deputy Governor Isaac Mutuma accused Governor Kawira Mwangaza of plotting to kick him out of office.

Speaking yesterday, Mutuma alleged that the county boss had been sending threatening messages to him through proxies, asking him to resign.

"We are operating in a very hostile environment in Meru and as deputy governor, I have said time and again that things are escalating from bad to worse," Mutuma said. 

"Mama Governor through her proxies are sending threats to me, telling me that Mama is proposing that I resign and get the package to engage in other issues out there," the DG added.

Mwangaza and her deputy have been at loggerheads over her style of leadership since they were elected on an independent ticket in the August 2022 General Election.

The governor, who has survived impeachment twice, has previously accused the deputy governor of being behind an elaborate scheme to hound her out of office.

Days before Mwangaza's second impeachment by the Meru County Assembly in October last year, the DG had accused the governor of moving his office from the current Meru County headquarters, where the governors’ offices are located, to the old headquarters.

Mutuma also accused Mwangaza of unilaterally withdrawing his personnel as well as denying his office funding.

However, the governor denied the rift with her deputy, saying the matter had been blown out of proportion.

She accused the DG of working with her political opponents to undermine her.
