Wambua faulted the Senate Devolution Committee for not intervening thereby allowing the Meru County Assembly to impeach their governor.
The Governor of Nakuru, Hon.Susan Kihika is facing strong resistance over the nomination of her Cabinet members and Chief Officers.
Susan is accused of not exercising fairness and regional balance in appointment of Cabinet members.
A number of petitions have been filed at the Nakuru Court challenging her Decisions. The recent one quashed the nomination of Chief officers and allowing the Matatu back into the CBD.
Kisii Governor Hon Simba Arati is also facing strong opposition from the Senator, Richard Onyonka, MPs Silvanus Osoro, Japhet Nyakundi and Anthony Kibagendi.
The leaders accuse Arati of betrayal. Kibagendi, during the send off of Business man David Simba Nyamweya said that Governor Arati should honour the promise and give Senator Richard Onyonka his share of 25%.
Similar sentiments were echoed by South Mugirango MP, Silvanus Osoro who is also the Majority Whip in the National Assembly.
Osoro said that Arati should stop parading Kisii County employees at Gusii stadium, and find an alternative of job creation to absorb his people.
In Kiambu County, Governor Wamatangi is facing a uphill task in executing his duties. The Governor was quoted last week asking Kenyans to pray for him as Cartels have threatened to deal with him if he won’t bow.
