Chaos reigned in Nairobi County Assembly on Monday morning as the MCAs fought over the occupation of the Majority leader’s office following changes announced by Speaker Beatrice Elachi last week.

Last Thursday, Elachi said in a letter to the party Jubilee MCAs had in a meeting held in Mombasa resolved to change the leadership in the assembly. 

The letter indicated that changes were sought by Governor Mike Sonko good working relations with the assembly.

Nominated MCA June Ndegwa was to replace Chief Whip Chege Waithera (South B) deputised by California’s Hassan Abdikadi.

Majority leader Abdi Guyo was to be replaced by Dandora 3 MCA Charles Thuo who was to be deputised by Ziwani’s Millicent Wambui in place of James Kariba (Riruta). 

The proposed changes were opposed as unconstitutional by the MCAs.

Monday’s fracas started in the Majority leader’s office at 9am as MCAs from both sides jostled to be in the office and MCA Mary Njambi popularly known as MCA Mafirifiri was at it again with another new term. 

“…..mabinduki ndio zilikua zinafanya kazi, pupupuuu….” the MCA left her colleagues in stitches as she narrated the fracas.

The door to the Majority leader’s office was brought down and tear gas was lobbed in the office. 

The MCAs and the assembly staff fled to the washrooms to douse their faces.

The chaos attracted the attention of police officers who were on the premises to keep order during the registration of the delegates for the ICPD 25  Nairobi Summit which starts on Tuesday.

Central Police Station Criminal Investigations Officer Samuel Kobina intervened and ordered all MCAs to leave the assembly three hours later.

Guyo said the assembly was too chaotic and asked the national government to dissolve it. 

“I’m requesting the party to call for a caucus to solve this issue once and for all. The members’ concerns should be addressed and those who want to vote me out can follow the law and if defeated, I will support who whoever will be chosen by members,” he said.
