The Kirinyaga woman representative Purity Ngirici was replaced by her Kiambu counterpart Gathoni Wamuchomba.
She, however, dismissed the purported changes saying the association’s constitution was not followed.
Members proposed Kiambu Woman MP Gathoni Wamuchomba to replace her.
“They can remove me when they want to. They need to call a meeting. There must be a meeting notification of seven days. They must invite every member. There should be two-thirds, not signatures.”
“They cannot event take powers of the secretariat. This is just a story. Let us follow the procedure. ”
The MPs accused her of poor leadership at the association and failure to protect the interests of women in leadership.
