Three Nyamira MCAs Disown Impeachment Vote, Claim Their Signatures Were Forged

Kenya, 2 December 2025 - A fresh twist has emerged in the impeachment of Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo after three Members of the County Assembly claimed their names were fraudulently used to back the motion that removed him from office.

The MCAs — Priscilla Nyatichi (nominated), Julius Nyangana (Rigoma), and Elijah Abere (Mekenene) — have filed a complaint at Nyali Police Station in Mombasa, insisting they were nowhere near Nyamira when the vote took place.

Their signatures, they say, were forged to inflate support for the motion that saw 23 of 31 MCAs recorded as having voted to impeach the governor.

Nyatichi told journalists in Mombasa that she was on a family holiday when the assembly carried out the vote and had not authorised anyone to act on her behalf.

“I never sent anyone to vote on my behalf during last week’s impeachment of our governor. I have already reported the matter at Nyali Police Station,” she said.

She added that she intends to take legal action, accusing the assembly of defamation and falsifying her official signature and stamp.

The three MCAs want police to open investigations into what they describe as the “fraudulent and unauthorised use” of their identities.
