Embu Governor Martin Wambora has been elected the new Council of Governors (CoG) chair, replacing Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya.
According to sources at the CoG meeting currently underway at the Nairobi's Movenpick Hotel, Wambora who chaired the committee on Trade, was elected as the fifth CoG chairman.
Wambora (

Wambora became the first governor to be impeached in 2014 after the Embu County Assembly accused him of embezzling Sh32.3 million as well as refusing to suspend Lorna Kariuki the then County Secretary over questionable tenders for the renovation of Moi Stadium and procurement of seeds for distribution to farmers.
