Introduction to Isaac Mutuma Swearing
Meru’s Deputy Governor Isaac Mutuma will be sworn in as Governor on Monday, March 17, 2025. The event will be held in Mwendantu Grounds of Meru Town, which will start at 8:30 am. This follows the High Court’s decision to uphold former Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s impeachment.
Kawira Mwangaza Impeachment
The Meru County Assembly impeached Kawira Mwangaza the end of 2024, citing the misconduct and abuse of the office. The Senate upheld the verdict on August 20, 2024. Mwangaza challenged her removal in court, but Justice Bahati Mwamuye rejected his petition, confirming the validity of impeachment.

Public reactions and expectations
The reactions between the residents of Meru have been mixed. Some celebrate the transition, anticipating better governance under Isaac’s Mutuma. Others believe Mwangaza’s removal was unfair. The new governor faces the challenge of restoring unity and improving service delivery (Kenyans).
As Isaac took over, his leadership will be closely watched. His priorities include addressing the governance concerns of the government and rebuilding the public trust in the administration of Meru County.
