Those supporting the motion and those against it\nexchanged blows, insults while noise rented the air as the assembly was turned\ninto a wrestling ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTuuti\/Marakaru ward MCA Joseph Nyongesa <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Majority leader of the MCA\u2019s had signed to\nimpeach leader of the minority Florence Wekesa in what they termed as failing\nin her duties and at the time colluding with the executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already 36 ward bosses had appended their\nsignatures to help in kicking out the majority leader who is also the Maeni\nward MCA, while 11 MCA\u2019s were supporting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of the majority party in the house led\nby Ford Kenya want Florence Wekesa out for failing to play her role and being\nmanipulated by the executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They further called out the assembly speaker\nEmmanuel Situma for colluding with the executive and disregarding his role as\nthe assembly prefect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Majority of Ford Kenya, ODM and a section of\nindependent members who were supporting the remain of majority leader whom they\naccused of sleeping in her duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MCAs had proposed Tuuti\/Marakaru ward MCA Joseph\nNyongesa to take over as the majority leader replacing the notorious Maeni Ward\nMCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nyongesa said that when the health committee\nmembers led by Musikoma Ward MCA George Makari were stopped by the armed\nanti-riot police officers from interrogating members of executive on their role\nin purchasing the most expensive jerry cans at ksh.10, 000 per 20 litres, she\nwent silent and never condemned the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ward leader also accused the majority leader\nto convene a meeting to discuss on how they should have shared the\nksh.100Million from the assembly kitty meant for special programs in fighting\nthe corona virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019She has failed us, we have collected enough\nsignatures and will be impeached through hook or cook, we cannot pretend to\nhelp wananchi yet we are colluding with the executive and failing in our\noversight roles,\u2019\u2019 bitter Nyongesa said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
His sentiments were echoed by nominated MCA\nFredrick Musebe Who accused the majority leader of keeping silent when all the\nnominated MCA\u2019s were being kicked out of different committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019Her work was to speak boldly about the vices\nagainst the nominated members when they were being stripped from all committees\nafter we demanded offices and recognition, she should have defended us instead\nof leaving us to suffer the humiliation from our elected colleagues, she must\ngo, she failed us in Ford Kenya.\u2019\u2019 Musebe accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Mrs. Wekesa observed that she has\nplayed her role extremely well as the leader of majority something that has\nunited both the assembly leaders and the executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
