In science we say if all factors are constant xyz applies. That why most stuff work in lab controlled environment but not out in nature.
If Kenya was a magic country - governor should be left alone and allowed all benefit of doubt. But graft is a huge monster much more than governor freedom or even devolution itself. If you ask me what I must choose between clean central government or corrupt devolution- I choose clean center over devolved rot. Of course we know your issue is not survival of devolution but UDA.
This is all for the sake of argument about "my brain" and such nonsense. Mumbi is qualified judge and listened to all sides and arguments before issuing verdict to suspend - DPP/cops, defense, public interest, etc. Someone is under investigation or trial for graft but you want him to run the office where witnesses also work
Before CoK2010 the trend was for suspects to engage all delaying tactics until witnesses go mteja or they retire from the office which they abused. Now it is in their best interest to fast track the case. Very fresh.
That is as far as criminal cases is concerned.
For impeachment- Waititu or Sonko if they have ACTIVE cases against their impeachments in courts should be allowed to vie. Sonko case I think is in high court so he is qualified - Waititu case was long thrown out. Basically judge will only entertain procedural issues - like MCA accounts were hacked - not the political merits. And that is because CoK2010 gives MCA and senate ultimate power to determine that.
To reiterate your half-arsed fear is executive abuse of power. I am much more worried about governor or politician's abuse of office by looting. I choose to scare potential thieves shitless in lieu of their political independence - to freely be in whatever camp - and my brain, heart, soul, etc are just fine.
It more than that. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Like Albino judge Mumbi - whom I know is good person - but her decision to suspend governors - allowed evil people to intimidate governors - with court cases.
Now instead of governor being a president of a county - they are DCI/EACC PUSSIES. All DCI/EACC/DPP need it concoct lies, take it nearest magistrate and guy is out of office.
Today you can elect the best governor - and all I need is get DCI to charge him in court - and they are suspended the next day. Don't be surprised next governors will elect their wifes and girlfriends as deputy governor 
Forget about Ruto or Sonko. Think about powers you give executive by allowing someone innocent (presumed) to be permanently banned from contesting on mere allegation or seasonal political expedience.
If we want Raila out - we could impeach him from his office in AU - and he will not be eligible?
You're an idiot.
Most of your are idiots.
Some need to exhaust all possible reviews and appeals before they can be condemned - Sonko impeachment is before court - there is allegation of fraud - we know Embu governor was impeached by MCAs and Senate - and yet eventually won in court.
Please your brain - if you have any.
If Waitutu has challenged his impeachment in court and court has entertained it - and technically he is not impeached.
