Chaos as lawmakers exchange blows over leadership positions

Chaos breaks out in Nairobi Assembly as county lawmakers clash over leadership changes.

A scuffle broke out at the Nairobi County Assembly on Tuesday after a section of the Members of the County Assembly clashed over in-house differences.

The wrangles ensued after Ngei Ward MCA Redson Otieno hit out at the speaker, Ken Ngondi who presided over the session and confirmed his ouster as Water Committee Chairperson.

According to Otieno, only the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party had the right to order his removal from the Committee.

In the widely circulated videos, a section of the MCAs could be seen confronting the MCA as other politicians watched from a distance.

The move to confront Redson was similarly met with a repulse from another group of MCAs who quickly rushed to protect one of their own.

“Come and Kill me, I don’t fear intimidation,” Redson Onyango could be heard shouting at the County Assembly Speaker as he expressed his displeasure over the dismissal.

The MCA who vowed to defend his stance accused the assembly speaker of bias as he questioned why he was the only one ousted from the committee.

Following the scrimmage, the house speaker was forced to prematurely adjourn the session even as chaos intensified.

While commenting on the matter, Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai faulted the speaker for contravening the constitution by dismissing the Ngei ward MCA from a house committee.
