Nairobi MCAs vote to impeach county assembly speaker Beatrice Elachi. 103 members voted in favor, 2 voted against and 2 abstained.
Speaker Beatrice Elachi has asked ward representatives to shelve the plan to impeach her and embrace dialogue.
Some of the Members of County Assembly had said they would hold a special sitting on Thursday on the conduct of the Speaker.
Ms Elachi termed her conduct a “non-issue” and asked disgruntled MCAs to turn their focus to Nairobi’s problems and their possible solutions.
She said her woes stem from allegations that she has prevented the MCAs from travelling for benchmarking, tender wars and her invitation of officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to the assembly.
“It is a non-issue but if you say you have their support and they say you are denying them trips, then you are lying,” she said in Malindi
