Tuesday, February 03,
2026 - The Speaker of the Kiambu County Assembly, Charles Thiong’o, has
alleged that his life is in danger following a failed attempt to impeach
Governor Kimani Wamatangi.
On Tuesday, February 3rd, Thiong’o filed a formal
complaint with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), claiming that he
has been trailed by unknown men, some of whom traced him to his home.
He said his wife raised an alarm after spotting a black Ford
Ranger parked outside their gate.
“I am fearful, and more so for my family. If somebody wants
to harm me, they can do so from out here, but when they come within my personal
space, I have every reason to believe that there is an ulterior motive,”
Thiong’o stated.
Through his lawyer, the Speaker demanded that investigators
establish the identity of the men and their accomplices.
He was accompanied by several Members of County Assembly
(MCAs), who also claimed to have received anonymous threats.
“We know that people are plotting to impeach Governor
Wamatangi and want to intimidate the Speaker into allowing an impeachment
motion to be filed,” Kiu MCA, Zacharuah Machariah, remarked.
The MCAs issued a two‑week ultimatum to the DCI to
investigate and apprehend those behind the threats.
Machariah assured Governor Wamatangi of their support, saying
that any impeachment attempt must follow constitutional procedures.
Last week, MCAs alleged that Ksh100 million had been offered
to bribe them into removing the county boss from office.
