For an unlikely politician who has now gained the moniker of a cat with nine lives, Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo's triumph against a second attempt to kick him out of office on Tuesday broke history, making him the first county boss to survive two impeachment attempts at the county assembly level.

The governor told The Saturday Standard that he had offered an olive branch to the MCAs who had last week unanimously decided to kick him out but failed to marshal enough numbers at the Assembly after some of them switched sides at the last minute.
