Wednesday, August 28, 2024 –Controller of Budget has rejected an appeal filed in her office against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

In a statement today Wednesday August 28, the Controller of Budget, Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o, maintained that Mwangaza is the substantive county boss who is still mandated to run county government accounts.

Despite escalating protests around Meru County and a subsequent appeal by Meru Senator Kathuri Murungi, the controller stated that Mwangaza’s fresh court orders allows her to remain incharge of finances.

“The court order stopping the implementation of the Senate’s resolution effectively keeps Governor Mwangaza in office,” Nyakang’o stated in a letter addressed to Senator Murungi on Tuesday, August 27.

“As long as the court maintains this order, the Governor retains the authority to assent to the Appropriation Bill and authorise withdrawals from the Meru County Revenue Fund.”

High Court offered the embattled governor a sigh of relief to continue running the affairs of the county despite impeachment which went against her.

She has since reported back to office and, until a further judicial directive, Mwangaza who was supposed to be replaced by his deputy is back at work.
