Nyamira County MCAs Vows to Impeach Governor Nyaribo Over Unfair Sacking of Health CEC
Nyamira County MCAs Vows to Impeach Governor Nyaribo Over Unfair Sacking of Health CEC. Nyamira County MCAs have tabled a petition to impeach Governor Amos Nyaribo for abuse of power after the resignation of Health Center Councilor Dr. Timothy Ombati.
Nyaribo last week fired Ombati, calling it “embarrassing” that the drug was not sent to all district hospitals as promised to the public.
28 of the 34 MCA members approved the impeachment, saying they will remove the district governor.
Deputy Majority Leader and Masira City MCA Duke said Nyaribo wants the Central Electoral Commission to resign or be charged for unfair dismissal.
Masira said Nyaribo had lost confidence because MCA had misused its power
“We want the Senate to determine whether Nyaribo will continue as Governor of Nyamira. He admitted that he only brought boxes instead of drugs, we want an investigation,” he said.
Ombati then went to court to challenge the dismissal, saying it was harmful and unreliable.
He wants the court to reinstate the governor and order him to keep the dismissal letter.
The lawyer acting for Ombati, Danstan Omari, told the court that Nyaribo’s reason for dismissing Ombati was embarrassment, which was illegal.
Dr Timothy Ombati before his latest appointment served at the Nyamira county referal Hospital as a Medical superintendent.He assumed office as the Minister for Health services for Nyamira county after Governor Nyaribo won an heavily contested gubernatorial position.
His sacking came after his one month terminal leave expired as a result of corruption allegations in the department of health services.Since then a number of the above issues have arised thus mounting the county leadership into a downward trajectory thats ironical with the huge expectations of the people of Nyamira county.
