“Beatrice Elachi Used Public Funds for Plastic Surgery”

Nairobi MCAs have unanimously voted to impeach Speaker Beatrice Elachi for abuse of office. According to the Motion, Elachi is accused of using public funds for plastic surgery among other serious charges.

On Wednesday, 101 out of 122 MCAs signed a petition to impeach Elachi on claims of abuse of office.

The MCAs claim she went for a Diaspora Women Network conference when in actual sense she was traveling for plastic surgery and knee surgery, as evidenced by an insurance claim from CIC Insurance totaling Sh1,000,000.

The impeachment motion also notes that Elachi inappropriately spent public funds on a visit to Dubai, to ostensibly receive a “fake Honorary Doctorate Degree” from the “London Graduate School”

She is also accused of making payments worth Sh550,000 of taxpayers monies, as part of a suspicious “Dubai Leadership Summit”.

“She procured payment by intimidation, improperly and unprocedurally to have the public fund her deceptive personal travels, evidence of which is readily available online,” it read.

Elachi is also accused of inappropriately spending public funds on dubious trips to Dallas and Texas in the US.

She is accused of interfering with the legitimate results of the Women Caucus elections where she unilaterally cancelled the results of a legitimate vote and ordered a fresh election, clearly abusing her office.

Repeatedly commencing Assembly proceedings without the requisite Quorum, and proceeding with assembly sittings where the question of quorum has been raised, and acceded to, contrary to the Standing Orders;

Earlier, Elachi claimed MCAs were pressured to sign a petition for her impeachment. She alleges representatives were threatened that they would miss trips, be de-whipped or removed from committees.
