Blow to Nairobi MCAs in Elachi ouster attempts

An application by Nairobi County Assembly seeking to set aside an order halting the impeachment of Speaker Beatrice Elachi has been thrown out by the Employment and Labour Court.

Elachi had moved to Labour court to fight for her Ouster after a group of MCAs stormed her office on Monday to forcefully remove her from the office.

The court had given orders to keep Elachi in office after the MCAs voted to impeach her on allegations of denying them important trips outside the country.

Following this, the court further extended the orders allowing Elachi to remain in office until Monday next week.

The assembly in its application had stated that the suit she filed contesting her impeachment was defective as she did not sign an affidavit.

Elachi who secured orders staying her removal from office said she was being targeted because of the firm stance she had taken in ongoing efforts to fight graft at the City Hall.

She wondered why the county lawmakers had changed tune in an ongoing corruption case against County Assembly Clerk, Jacob Ngwele.
