Plans are underway to impeach Nairobi City County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi.
Speaking to Hot News on condition of anonymity, a City MCA said Elachi has been working with the National Government officials to frustrate and undermine Governor Mike Sonko.
The rep said that if they fail in impeaching Elachi, they will cause chaos and ensure all operations at the Assembly are paralyzed.
The rep added that Elachi has also been working with Makongeni MCA Peter Imwatok to sabotage the City Governor.
“She is an enemy of the people. She helped bundle the former Majority leader Abdi Guyo out of office. Now she wants to become the Governor. She won’t succeed,” said the rep.
Sonko and Elachi fell out after Sonko declined to sign into law the supplementary appropriation bill allocating shs 15 billion to the Nairobi Metropolitan Services.
Speaker Elachi insisted the bill cannot be amended and referred it back to Sonko.
Sonko said some functions of the Nairobi County Government have not been transferred.
Several City reps also said they “secretly support Elachi’s ouster”.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior faulted Elachi for taking a stand on the matter instead of being neutral as required by the law.
