The Nairobi County Assembly had two committee members ousted on Tuesday, marking Speaker Beatrice Elachi’s fractious return to office.
Sectoral Committees members on Transport and Public Works, and Planning and Housing registered votes of no confidence in the respective chairs.
According to a story published on the Daily Nation, Transport committee Chairman James Mwangi, who is Kiamaiko Ward Representative, was replaced with nominated MCA Joyce Muthoni Kamau.
Waithaka MCA Anthony Kiragu Karanja lost his chairmanship of the Planning and Housing committee to Karura MCA Joseph Wambugu.
While announcing the changes, Nairobi County speaker Beatrice Elachi thanked the chairs for steering the committees, while spelling hope that the new chairs will take up responsibility and bring up better county policies.
“I wish to thank the former chairpersons for leading the committees for the last two and half years and request the new chairpersons to steer the committee for the betterment of the county,” Speaker Elachi said while announcing the changes.
