Kisumu residents have appealed to the senate and the national assembly to enact a bill that could see the fighting in the county assembly brought to an end.
Speaking to the press at Kisumu Hotel, Kisumu City Residents’ Voice association chairman Audi Ogada, said that the recent wrangles and fighting in the county assembly that saw Deputy Speaker Pamela Jossi injured and hospitalised needs to be brought to an end for kisumu to move forward.
Audi asked the national assembly and the senate to enact a bill that could see fighting MCAs face punishments and even being sent home.
“It is so unfortunate that our MCAs have resolved to the bush way of reasoning at the expense of our development.
This is why as kisumu residents, we are really appealing to the senate led by our senator Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o to enact a bill that could see sanity return to our county assembly,” said Audi.
His sentiments were echoed by his Manyatta Youth Bunge chairman Benson Onoka who said that the MCAs have transformed the county assembly to former county councils which were characterised by rampant fighting and chair-throwing whenever they could not reach an agreement.
Onoka also appealed to the senate to enact a bill that could save devolution and bring back sanity in counties.
