[VIDEO] What lead to Nyamira ward MCAs fight revealed by county Speaker

Nyamira County MCAs.

 

Chaos ensued Nyamira County Assembly on Tuesday morning after MCAs clash over the axing specific MCAs from crucial committees.


The MCAs alternated with blows and kicks after disagreeing over the introduction of a new name in the Committee of Appointments report.


The previous message from Nyamira governor Amos Nyaribo featured four names with a promise that the fifth nominee would be confirmed later.

The committee later settled on all five names.  However, on Tuesday, April 13, the governor had replaced the name of the fifth nominee catching some of the MCAs as opposed to the new nominee by surprise.


The drama began shortly after the House assembled for business, with some MCAs hopping over the barrier isolating the gallery and chambers and advancing to the floor of the House to grab the Mace.


The Serjeant-at-Arms struggled to shield the Speaker as irate MCAs faced him.


 Ekerenyo MCA Thadeous Nyabaro showcased his kickboxing skills on Gesima ward MCA Charles Maroko.


Nyamaiya MCA Raban Masira was also caught boxing with his Rigoma ward counterpart.


“MCAs are politicians and they are representing their people. When they disagree it means they are expressing the interests of their people. Let them express themselves as we look for a middle ground,” speaker Teya told journalists.
