Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru suffered another blow as three Members of County Assembly (MCA) allied to her were suspended for six months.
This was confirmed by Speaker Anthony Gathumbi citing the chaos caused during the Governor's impeachment motion as the grounds for their suspension.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, a close source to the Kirinyaga County Assembly noted that the affected the MCAs will move to court.
"On the side of the executive we are yet to respond to anything, this happened yesterday in the evening, the affected MCAs have rubbished the suspension.
"The MCAs will seek legal redress in court, they have termed the suspension as a witch-hunt," noted the source.
The three MCAs include Anthony Kinyua (Karumande Ward), Patrick Chomba (Kabare Ward) and Nominated MCA Lucy Njeri.
The Assembly noted that the three MCAs embarrassed them during the Governor's impeachment back on Tuesday, June 9.
Chaos broke out after the names of the three MCAs appeared on the impeachment register while they were against it.
The trio also complained that they were not allowed to speak during the impeachment by the county assembly bringing commotion in the house.
Munene and Njeri were kicked out of the chambers after being engaged in a heated confrontation with other members of the Assembly.
The move to suspend the three MCAs widens the rift between Waiguru and the County Assembly who have been at loggerheads for months.
