Kawira Mwangaza Turns to Content Creation Weeks after Impeachment
Former Meru County Governor Kawira Mwangaza has publicly hinted at a potential new path in content creation, following the recent conclusion of a legal battle that upheld her impeachment.
This development comes weeks after the High Court in Nairobi delivered a decisive ruling on her petition challenging the legality of her removal from office.
On March 14, 2025, Justice Bahati Mwamuye dismissed Mwangaza’s petition against the Senate’s endorsement of her impeachment, citing that the case lacked merit.
The ruling marked the final chapter in a months-long political and legal dispute that began in August 2024, when Members of the Meru County Assembly (MCAs) initiated her impeachment.
Following the impeachment by the county assembly, Mwangaza sought redress through the judicial system, challenging the Senate’s decision to uphold her removal.
However, the court found no sufficient grounds to reverse the Senate’s position, effectively ending her tenure as county governor.
Despite the legal setback, Mwangaza appears to be embracing a new chapter in her life. In a Facebook video posted on April 17, she appeared cheerful and at ease while enjoying a car ride with her husband, Murega Baichu.
In the video, Mwangaza casually shared her post-impeachment lifestyle, revealing that she is now focusing on preaching and farming.
Her husband, Baichu, who accompanied her in the video, steered the conversation toward the idea of leveraging digital platforms for income generation.
In a lighthearted exchange, he asked Mwangaza whether she had monetized her Facebook account. When she responded that she had not, he encouraged her to consider doing so.
“You should monetise this account so that you can be earning from livestreams because of your slip…,” Baichu added, ending his sentence with a laugh. The remark appeared to reference the public interest that has surrounded Mwangaza’s political journey and the attention her content could generate online.
During the video, Mwangaza also revealed that she had been officially removed from the government payroll as of March 14, the same day the court delivered its ruling. Nonetheless, she expressed hopefulness about her future and did not seem deterred by the financial implications of her exit from public office.
“I can show you some other ways you can start earning,” Baichu continued in the video. “One of them is through content creation.”
Mwangaza’s openness to exploring new opportunities, particularly in digital media, may signal a shift in how former public officials in Kenya navigate life after politics. With a significant following on social media, her transition into content creation could offer both a platform for personal expression and a viable source of income.
Her story also highlights the increasing relevance of digital platforms in shaping public discourse, providing alternative career avenues, and sustaining visibility for former leaders beyond their time in office.
As Mwangaza begins this new chapter, it remains to be seen how her audience will respond to her transformation from politician to content creator. However, if her recent demeanor and outlook are anything to go by, she appears ready to embrace the future with resilience and optimism.
