There is a looming political crisis in Garissa as Aden Duale and Governor Ali Korane lock horns over the impeachment of County Assembly speaker Ahmed Ibrahim Abbas.
Supporters of Ali Korane now allege that the impeachment is sponsored by Duale who has in the recent times fallen out with the governor.
Led by the Ijara Member of County Assembly Irshad Hilowle, pro-Korane MCAs accused Duale of planning to divide the house along ethnic lines, a fact that he said would paralyze businesses.
“Some people are struggling to cause havoc in the house. I want to assure our governor that majority of us in the assembly are very much determined to give the necessary support to the county government as it delivers on its core mandate. Those planning to impeach the speaker are just but political brokers,” Hilowle said.
The new development is threatening to worsen the relationship between Duale and Korane in a turf where political rivalry has been said is the key motivator.
Just last month, Duale was also linked with the plot to oust the governor as some local elders claimed that he was responsible for Korane's many court battles.
