The County Assembly of Isiolo has refuted claims that it held a session on Thursday to initiate impeachment proceedings against Governor Abdi Guyo.

In a strongly worded statement, County Assembly Clerk Salad Boru Gutracha described the reports circulating on social media and some news outlets as “false, misleading, and politically motivated.”

“No such sitting has been convened, held, or facilitated by this office,” Boru clarified, adding that the Assembly is fully bound by active court orders prohibiting any such action at this time.

“There are active court orders explicitly prohibiting the County Assembly from advancing the impeachment proceedings against the Governor at this time. The Assembly is fully bound by these orders and remains committed to upholding the rule of law and constitutional due processes,” stated Boru.

The Clerk also noted that the Assembly has not issued any official notice, order paper, or assigned staff to facilitate an impeachment session.

According to Boru, the current impeachment reports are part of a wider agenda of politically motivated misinformation aimed at misleading the public and undermining legitimate Assembly procedures.

He reiterated that he remains the substantive Clerk and that anyone else claiming to hold the position does not have legal authority.

“It is important to clarify that the substantive Clerk of the County Assembly remains one Mr Salad Boru, and anyone purporting to act as such has no legal footing to facilitate any such sitting nor act on behalf of this office,” he stated.

He insisted that the impeachment of a sitting governor is a constitutional process that cannot be lawfully conducted through informal announcements or press conferences.

“The public is advised to disregard any allegations of an impeachment process having been undertaken,” he said. “It cannot be lawfully conducted through press conferences or informal declarations.”
