Kiambu Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) stormed governor Kimani Wamatangi’s office on Monday, January 9, demanding for fair distribution of the county's Ksh100 million bursary.
Speaking at the governor’s office on Monday, January 9, the wards’ heads claimed that the governor had neglected his duties in equally serving the county residents.
They called for the governor to address the situation, which they pointed out would be dire to the functions of the county government.
“He should tell us whether he wants to work with us or not. We will be here tomorrow at 6 AM to meet him.
"We did not ask him to be a governor. We don’t have to tell him that he is supposed to construct good roads, and hospitals and issue bursaries,” they stated.
The MCAs, who were disgruntled after Wamatangi failed to address them, announced that they would revoke his foundation for interfering with the normal workings of the county.
“Wamatangi’s foundation should stop taking over county government work. We want him to tell us what he wants, is it work or battle?
"He has been working with illegal groupings here in Kiambu, if he will not drop them we will remove them ourselves,” they lamented.
The news comes on the backdrop of the recent tiff in county governments between MCAs and the governors.
Meru governor Kawira Mwangaza recently survived an impeachment motion that was lodged by the county MCAs.
MCAs argued that their move to impeach the governor from office through impeachment was a way of correcting the unintended consequences of democracy.
The Senate - through a special committee - however, dismissed the impeachment motion.
"After the consideration of charges made against Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza, all 11 members of the Special Senate Committee agreed and recommended that none of the charges was proved," Khalwale remarked while tabling the report.
