Isiolo Governor Abdi Ibrahim Hassan has survived attempt to remove him from office through impeachment after the Senate questioned the process of his impeachment by the County Assembly and voted to save him.

Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) voted to impeach the Governor on June 26, accusing him of violating the constitution and other laws, abuse of office and gross misconduct.

The matter did not get to the full trial as it was settled on the preliminary objections filed by the Governor through his legal team.

Isiolo County Governor Abdi Ibrahim Hassan has denied all three charges levelled against him during the first day of the Senate hearing into his proposed impeachment, following a Motion passed by the Isiolo County Assembly.

Appearing before the Senate plenary this Tuesday, Governor Hassan rejected the accusations read to him by the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Jeremiah Nyegenye.
