County Assemblies Speakers from Nyanza have threatened to remove from office the Chairman of County Assemblies Forum (CAF), Johnson Osoi.Led by Siaya Speaker George Okonde, the assembly bosses accused Osoi of using the forum to further Jubilee Party interests.The leaders said Osoi, who is also the Kijiado County Assembly Speaker, was partisan and warned him against misusing the office."He should stop using the platform or we will censure him. Osoi must stop talking on behalf of assemblies and instead talk about his Kajiado Assembly,"Okonde said on Sunday.This comes after Osoi criticised Opposition leader Raila Odinga over his plans to establish the People's Assembly in the push for a new election in 90 days.The Kijiado Speaker said Raila was intending to use county assemblies for selfish political gains.Speaking on Saturday, Osoi said CAF would thwart any attempts to establish the People's Assembly in the counties.But Okonde rubbished Osoi's remarks, saying he should only comment on issues the CAF has deliberated on and made resolutions."At no point did the forum discuss the issue of People's Assembly," he said.The Speaker said they would not be blackmailed to ignore NASA calls."The People's Assembly is about governance and there can never be anything more pressing than governance issues," Okonde added.
