Chaos erupted today, Wednesday at the Machakos County Assembly when Former Makueni County Executive Member for ICT and Special Programmes, Tom Lussa, an ally of Mutua, was roughed up by anti-Mutua MCAs during the tabling of a motion to impeach Governor Alfred Mutua.
The motion mover Stephen Muthuka (Ndalani MCA) accused Mutua of misappropriating bursary money and diverting county funds to personal use.
Mutua was absent from the Chambers as he was reportedly inspecting development projects in Kangundo with visiting Kericho Governor, Paul Chepkwony, who is in Machakos for a three-day “county visit” where he was represented by his lawyer, Wilfred Nyamu.
On Tuesday, November 22, Muthuka had claimed that Mutua had resorted to diversion tactics by sponsoring some MCAs to trips to Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda as a means to prevent the motion from passing.
Mutua has, however, refuted the claims, accusing a section of MCAs of using the impeachment threats as a means to blackmail him into funding their campaigns.
