While Wambora's beef was with MCAs,Waititu ouster was pushed by voters and MCAs had no choice but to comply. Secondly,the Mbeere/Embu divide also played a role in the Wambora case.
Court of Appeal judges had this to say while annulling the impeachment
"Collective responsibility is not a principle of individual responsibility. The tenders involved many parties thus the appellant was not individually liable,"
Waititu was implicated directly with the wife he has now disowned. Other Kenyans need to be educated on exactly what happened. Twice some MCA's tried to impeach this fella. Twice they failed. Simply because he'd take them for lunch or they would disappear. It was public forums that removed this guy. Some were even on TV. MCA's could not sleep as the electorate insisted that the guy be removed. I'm not an expert at all this legal stuff. But I can assure you without a shadow of a doubt, the voters in Kiambu do not want this fella. If Nyoro is sworn in and it is found that it had been illegal, at least the voters would have had 1 more year without this denier of children. That is what tanga tanga is not getting in their thick skulls. The voters don't want him. Any attempt to return him legally or otherwise shall only take more of them down Waititu's path. Why do you think the senators from Kiambu changed their tune? They were against it initially. All the above may make political and even emotional sense. But try selling it to a sober judge. Ati the people wanted Waititu removed, so the Senate acted. Under which law? And what about the presumption of 'innocent till proven guilty?' I am from Kiambu and I certainly want Waititu to go. But not through extra legal means. Otherwise embarking on such a slippery slope could come back to bite you and me in the gluteus maximus one day. You want Waititu impeached? My advise to Kiambuians is wait to exercise that power through the ballot. Waititu knows his goose is cooked. He thrives on popularism and even judges cannot give him that. That is what the street thinks, based on that buffoonish image Waititu deliberately cultivates. I used to think Waititu could not speak English until I saw him on TV. You misunderestimate Babayao at your own peril. Judge Onyiego says law was not followed and he will not swear Nyoro, someone stopped reggae but for how long?we dont know When did he say that? Has the case been presented to him yet? How did he decide on a matter which is not yet in court? At least in Embu, Wambora obtained a court order stopping the swearing in. I actually hope that the Court annuls the impeachment so that Kiambu voters can feel the full effect of their choice Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne
