KISII DG IMPEACHMENT HEARING EXTENDS LATE INTO THE NIGHT ON DAY ONE

Kisii Deputy Governor Dr Robert Monda faced a Senate plenary on Wednesday, denying charges of gross misconduct, abuse of office, violating the Constitution and crimes under national law.

Dr Monda is accused of improperly soliciting KES. 800,000 from Dennis Mokaya and his family to secure a job at the Gusii Water and Sanitation Company (GWASCO). He allegedly then sent KES. 100,000 to GWASCO's Managing Director to influence Mokaya's employment, but this request was rejected.
