Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi has been given one week by a section of Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party to recall the county assembly for a special sitting.
Elachi had previously received a letter from the party officials who requested her to recall the MCAs for a special sitting.
A group of the MCAs spearheaded by the Minority Leader David Mberia claimed they had given the county assembly speaker seven days to recall the house.
“We must first discuss the issue at hand and if impeachment or any other solution is the way forward, then we will resort to it,” David Mberia who also doubles up as Karen Ward MCA stated as quoted by The Standard.
According to Mberia, the Nairobi County may be gazing at another impending crisis after the court allegedly froze City Hall’s accounts.
Minority Whip Peter Imwatok, on the other hand, revealed that he will table an impeachment motion against Governor Sonko during the special sitting.
He added that he had received 82 signatures which met the required threshold to table such a motion.
Elachi has nonetheless maintained that she will recall the house for a special sitting when valid reasons are provided.
“I’m guided by the law that clearly says to gazette a special sitting you have to be very specific and gazette what to discuss,” she noted.
Sonko has already been barred from accessing his office over graft charges that he is facing.
It has been reported that currently, the acting Nairobi County Secretary Simon Leboo ole Morintat is the one in charge of operations at City Hall, given that by the time he was barred from accessing office, Sonko had no Deputy Governor who would have stepped in.
