Kirinyaga MCAs storm out of Waiguru’s impeachment meeting – KBC

A section of Jubilee nominated members of Kirinyaga County Assembly stormed out of a meeting convened to discuss the pending impeachment motion against the County Governor Ann Waiguru.

Seven MCAs walked out of the meeting in a huff claiming that they were being coerced to sign a petition withdrawing their signatures in support of the motion which has given the governor a sleepless night.

The MCAs were summoned to the meeting at the Governor’s residence in Kangaru area by Kirinyaga Jubilee Party branch where they were to discuss the impeachment motion against Governor Ann Waiguru.

According to the MCAs who talked to press under the condition of anonymity the meeting was characterized by threats and intimidations.

After five hours of pull and push between the two groups, the Jubilee officials availed a paper to the nominated Members of County Assembly in which they were instructed to append signatures to denounce the pending impeachment motion tabled in the assembly by Mutira Ward MCA David Kinyua Wangui.

It is on this moment that they decided to storm out of the meeting and left behind only four MCAs who agreed to append their signatures

The MCAs, however, refused to address the media outside the governor residence and speed off to the unknown place.

Only two nominated Members of the County Assembly failed to attend the meeting.

The motion was tabled in the Assembly on April 1^st where the MCAs accused Waiguru of defrauding County coffers by paying fictitious company millions of shillings and pocketing Ksh 10 million for travel she didn’t travel.
