JUST IN: Early morning drama at City Hall as MCAs attempt a hostile takeover

There was drama at City Hall early on Thursday morning as Matopeni MCA Abdi Guyo was said to be leading a fresh onslaught against Speaker Beatrice Elachi

In a phone call, Speaker Elachi claimed that MCA Guyo had hired goons to forcefully remove her from her office.

The Speaker confirmed that she could see “rowdy young men” from her window and that she could also see police lobbing teargas to disperse them.

“There are young people together with former Majority Leader Guyo in their vehicles with guns but we thank God that all the members are safe inside.

“We came because we had heard that there would be an attempted ouster and indeed it has come to pass,” the Speaker reported.

Elachi further claimed that the problems with the county assembly have been aggravated by lack of diligence from Jubilee party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju.

She accused him of not enforcing her ruling at the floor of the county assembly where she removed a number of MCAs from committees because they are facing disciplinary action.

Nominated MCA June Ndegwa who was holed up together with the Speaker alleged that the situation was a result of a fight between Nairobi County and the Nairobi Metropolitan Service.

She explained that the county administration is seeking to have the county assembly reverse the deed of transfer signed with the national government.
