Meru county has a new county boss following the impeachment of Kawira Mwangaza last week.
Mwangaza, who beat all odds to clinch the seat at the 2022 polls as an independent candidate, was impeached on August 20, 2024, after the Senate upheld charges leveled against her by the county assembly.
The new Governor Isaac Mutuma M'Ethingia is an ordained reverend in the Methodist Churches of Kenya, where he has exemplified his dedication to spiritual and community development.
He also boasts of extensive background in public service, where he has held various leadership positions.
Mutuma worked as a prison officer for 19 years, within which time he rose to the position of senior sergeant.
During his stint in the Kenya Prisons Service, he exhibited strong leadership skills and a commitment to upholding the law, thereby working as a social welfare officer and Inmate Rehabilitation Program Implementer.
He also served as a child rights advocate with Plan International, chaired several esteemed institutions, and served as Youth Representative for Habitat for Humanity in the Mt Kenya region.
