Jubilee Members of County Assembly (MCAs) affiliated to the Jubilee Party on Thursday announced that two of their colleagues would lose their positions over allegations of jeopardizing Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's operations.
The MCAs, led by Majority Leader Abdi Guyo, stated that Maringo MCA Mark Ndung'u and his Dandora counterpart Charles Thuo would lose their positions as chairpersons of house committees over allegations of working with former Kamukunji MP Simon Mbugua against Governor Sonko.
Jubilee MCAs unanimously came to this decision to de-whip Ndung'u, who is the chairperson of the Transport committee, and Thuo, who is the head of the Trade committee over their misconduct.
“As a disciplinary measure, we have decided to discharge them from their respective committees,” Guyo stated.
