Nairobi Members of County Assembly (MCAs) are scheduled to hold their inaugural sitting next week Thursday.
This is after Governor Johnson Sakaja finally gave in to pressure and gazetted the session.
Moreover, the MCAs will take their oath of office and then proceed to elect the speaker on their first sitting.
Likewise, a section of Nairobi MCAs had raised questions over Governor Sakaja’s delay to gazette a sitting where they will be sworn in.
Nonetheless, the Nairobi Members of County Assembly led by Kilelesha MCA-elect Robert Alai argued that the anomaly is affecting service delivery to Nairobi residents.
Alai further cited crucial agendas such as handling pending bills that cannot be discharged.
Likewise, some of the legislators also claimed that the delay is meant to sway MCAs from Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya to boost Kenya Kwanza’s quest for the Speakers’ seat.
In addition, Azimio la Umoja -One Kenya principals have already endorsed former Nairobi Assembly Deputy Speaker Ken Ng’ondi for the position.
Similarly, Jubilee party, which is also in Azimio, is fronting Harrison Wangoro Mwangi as its candidate for the position.
Furthermore, Mwangi unsuccessfully contested the Embakasi North MP seat in the August polls.
