Nakuru County Nominated MCA Margaret Kiiru has filed a petition in the High Court seeking for the removal of County Assembly Speaker Susan Kihika.
In the petition filed on Thursday, Kiiru wants the courts to declare Kihika unfit to hold any public office, observing that the Speaker had misappropriated county Assembly funds.
In the submissions, the county lawmaker further sought the removal of the Assembly Clerk Joseph Malinda who she accused of abuse of office.
“We pray that the court makes a declaration that Ms Kihika and Mr Malinda are unfit to hold public office either permanently or a specified period that the court may deem fit,” the application said in part.
The MCA further wants the matter heard and determined before the August polls.
The matter will be heard on Friday.
