In a statement shared on X, Nyamu stated even though she supports her removal from office, it was inhuman for some of the senators to celebrate Kawira’s ouster.
The vocal lawmaker added that August 20, 2024, will remain unforgettable.
“I will never forget how some colleagues celebrated the Meru governor’s impeachment tonight. Not that I don’t support her impeachment, but celebrating??Watu wana roho yenye sitawai elewa,” she said.
Nyamu who was nominated by the UDA party stated that Kawira was impeached on weak grounds.
She further added that Kawira was the senior politician in Meru and she should be the one doing victimization and not the other way round.
“Very weak grounds to uphold an impeachment. The threshold was missed by far. However, a political decision had to be made to save Meru from the back and forth,” she said.
“How are you not able to deal with your p****e? As governor, you were the senior politician in Meru, you should be the one doing the victimizing, and not complaining of the same all in all it was a sad day from G7 to G6. Painful.”
