Waititu`s impeachment motion was further scheduled for Wednesday, December 18 while that for his Deputy is scheduled for Thursday, December 19.
During the postponement scheme, it was argued that this was to afford the County boss ample time to appear before the county assembly to defend himself against several counts of accusations by the county assembly.
The county assembly of Kiambu is trying to avoid blames of being faulted for impeaching the Governor without giving him time to defend himself.
On the same note, the postponement was also to allow for public participation as well as affording both sides to galvanize and consolidate their numbers prior to the debate.
A section of the MCAs wants to impeach the governor based on several counts including abuse of office, gross misconduct, conflict of interest in using proxy companies to transact with the county, as well as failure to comply with the procurement obligations.
However, the MCAs allied to Waititu want to impeach Deputy Nyoro claiming that he is physically and mentally incapacitated to run the county office. They also accuse him of forceful entry and assumption of the Governor`s position.
