The Kenyan Senate is set to conduct a plenary hearing to decide the fate of impeached Kericho Governor Eric Mutai. Mutai was impeached last week by 33 Members of County Assembly (MCAs), marking his second impeachment. A motion to establish a special committee to investigate the proposed removal was defeated, leading to the full Senate taking on the trial. Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has scheduled the plenary hearings to take place over three days, from August 27 to August 29, 2025. The trial will address graft charges against Mutai, with the Senate plenary responsible for hearing and deciding on the impeachment motion. Minority Leader Stewart Madzayo failed to second the motion to form a special committee, resulting in the Senate plenary handling the case. Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has denied having any special interest in the impeachment proceedings. The trial follows the impeachment initiated by the county assembly, and the Senate's decision will determine Mutai's political future.
