Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana could sued for allegedly calling county assembly speaker mentally ill.
Speaker Stephen Ngelu has threatened that he will move to court if the county boss fails to apologise with immediate effect.
“I am asking Kibwana to apologise to me for saying I am mentally handicapped or I will take him to court. I never expected such insults from a leader such as Kibwana,” Ngelu is quoted by the Star.
Differences between the two leaders began last week during a ceremony to commission the construction of a centre for persons with disabilities.
Kivutha accused Ngelu of frustrating development when he rejected a volunteer policy.
“Go and tell Ngelu that he is mentally handicapped. That policy must be approved. It was improper for him to think the policy was for the purpose of paying village administrators who are perceived to be my campaigners," he said at Wote Town.
