A section of Kiambu County Members of County AssemblyMCAs engaged in a fierce fist-fight at the county assembly chambers over a supplementary budget.
The members
Governor Ferdinand Waititu has come out gun-blazing after the learning that the said members had opposed him. Waititu has vowed to teach the six MCAs a lifetime lesson for daring to raise questions over his ‘noble and successfully ended’ programme.
The governor speaking in Kiambu on Wednesday said he is going to work with the ‘rebellious’ MCAs’ 2017 competitors adding that “nobody will blackmail me”.
“I will now begin working with those who are ready to cooperate with me. My agenda for any particular ward will not stop because the MCA there is rebellious. I will hire the rebellious MCAs’ 2017 competitors who can work well for me,” said Waititu.
“I will employ them as ward administrators to execute my county agenda at the ward level and leave the MCA to do that oversight work they are talking about,” he added.
Waititu noted that the six MCAs had all along been opposed to the ‘Kaa Sober’ programme throughout its stay, despite being fully involved before it was launched.
“I am not going to soothe anyone beginning with Muguga MCA who with other five or six others think they can gang up to fight against me. We have delivered the first stroke by first removing them from those committees where they were bringing chaos,” said Waititu in his native Kikuyu language.
Do you think it’s fair for Waititu to punish the MCA’s just because they were questioning him?
