The fate of Kericho Governor Erick Mutai is in the hands of senators as the upper house is set to either uphold or throw out his impeachment by the county assembly.
The Senate will have a special sitting today when it will have a pre-hearing conference with Members of County Assembly (MCAs) who will present their evidence to support the impeachment motion against the embattled governor.
Dr Mutai will then appear before the Senate tomorrow during which he will have an opportunity to defend himself against accusations raised against him then Senators will vote to decide on whether to uphold or dismiss his impeachment.
Former governors Mike Sonko (Nairobi), Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu) and Kawira Mwangaza (Meru) have in the past taken through the impeachment process.
