Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) Redison Onyango, Robert Alai, Nicholas Juma, and Victor Ringo were forcefully ejected from the Nairobi County Assembly today. The MCAs were accused of causing chaos and attempting to disrupt the proceedings by demanding that the speaker adhere to the law.
The incident happened during a heated debate on a proposed bill regarding urban planning in the county. As tensions escalated, Onyango, Alai, Juma, and Ringo vociferously voiced their concerns, insisting that the speaker follow proper legislative procedures and uphold the rule of law.
The MCAs became increasingly agitated, interrupting the speaker and engaging in verbal altercations with other assembly members. The situation quickly deteriorated, prompting security personnel to intervene and remove the disruptive MCAs from the assembly hall.
The ejection of the four MCAs has sparked a wave of reactions from both supporters and critics. Some argue that their actions were necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in the legislative process, while others condemn their disruptive behavior as a hindrance to the functioning of the assembly.
The Nairobi County Assembly has been no stranger to controversy in recent years. Political tensions and power struggles have often overshadowed the assembly’s ability to effectively address the needs of the county’s residents. This latest incident further highlights the challenges faced by the assembly in maintaining order and conducting its business smoothly.
