Former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has issued a blistering statement casting doubt on the sincerity of opposition leaders set to tour the county this weekend in their bid to have her join them.
In a statement shared on her social media platforms, Mwangaza demanded answers over their past silence during the process that led to her removal from office.
In a firm address to the public, Mwangaza said the same individuals allegedly inviting her to join their political alliance were once behind what she termed as “sabotage of a democratically elected governor.”
Mwangaza was impeached by the Senate on August 2, 2024, and the High Court upheld her ouster on March 14, 2025.
Her former deputy, Isaac Mutuma, subsequently assumed office.
“They have reached out to me, sent emissaries, and even called me,” Mwangaza revealed, without naming anyone.
“Before responding to their invitations, I demand the answer: was it justice to overthrow the people’s will?”
She also directed criticism at national opposition leaders expected to accompany a former governor and an ex-Cabinet Secretary during their visit to Meru.
“To the opposition leaders joining them from other regions — where was your voice when a woman leader, democratically elected, was vilified and harassed by the very people you are now in alliance with?” she posed.
Former Meru Governor Peter Munya and ex-CS Mithika Linturi are set to host former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa, and Fred Matiang’i on Saturday, June 21.
