Nairobi County Assembly turned chaotic as Assembly speaker Beatrice Elachi locks herself in the office coordinating with anti-riot Police who engulfed on Mlango Kubwa MCA Patricia Mutheu.


The MCA received a thorough beating from the Police officers as others run helter-skelter for their beloved lives.


Running battles, teargas and chaos defined the Nairobi County Assembly seating on Tuesday. Police blocked the MCAs who were trying to serve Speaker Beatrice Elachi with notice of impeachment.


The deadlock between the police officers and the MCAs became violent when the heavily armed officers tossed teargas at the MCAs as well as journalists with the Mlango Kubwa MCA Patricia Mutheu severely wounded.


Waithaka MCA Antony Kiragu said the disorder was created by the rejection by the Speaker to be served as she locked herself up in her office.


“Since Elachi’s return, there has been nothing but chaos and she has been running the assembly like her personal property. The Speaker is responsible for the current fight between NMS and the County Government but we have decided that she now must go. Basically, she now stands suspended,” said Mr Kiragu.


“I was going to serve her with the letter to show her the notice of motion, the grounds for her impeachment and informing her that she needs to respond within seven days but that was not possible. However, I have served her on WhatsApp,” said Embattled Clerk Jacob Ngwele.
