Chaos erupted at the Kirinyaga County Assembly when an attempt to impeach Majority Leader Muriithi Kibinga triggered heated confrontations among Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).
The motion, reportedly backed by MCAs loyal to Speaker Muteti Murimi, led to a tense session marked by disruptions and political divisions.
This controversy stems from a larger power struggle within the assembly, with factions clashing over leadership and legislative priorities.
The impeachment effort followed accusations against Kibinga of undermining assembly operations. His opponents argue that he failed to represent their collective interests adequately, but his supporters see the move as politically motivated, aimed at silencing his independent stance.
The clashes underline deep divisions between pro-establishment MCAs and those critical of local governance policies.
The incident has intensified calls for unity and fair representation within the assembly.
Political observers warn that such disruptions may hinder the assembly’s ability to address pressing issues in Kirinyaga County, including service delivery and development initiatives.
Meanwhile, residents have expressed concern over the assembly’s focus on internal wrangles instead of county progress.
