Why Kiriminoo MCA will never protest ever again after suspension

Vocal Nairobi MCA of the ‘mafirifiri kwa masho” craze will never ever protest again after the house drew a whole list of benefits she will miss.

Ms Mary Njambi, alongside two other nominated MCAs – Laura Mwende and Nancy Muthami – have been suspended for their roles in the chaos that rocked the City Assembly last year September 10 when Beatrice Elachi was evicted from her office as the Speaker of the Assembly.

The administrators were suspended by the House after it adopted recommendations of a report by the Assembly’s Powers and Privileges committee that found the conduct of the three members that day as one that intended and is likely to reflect adversely on the dignity and integrity of the county assembly and its members.

Warning letters

Meanwhile, nine other MCAs have been given formal warnings for their conduct on that day. They include majority leader Abdi Guyo, his minority counterpart Elias Otieno, Minority Whip Peter Imwatok, Majority Whip Waithera Chege, Peter Wahinya, Antony Kiragu, Mwangi Njihia, Redson Otieno and Osman Khalif.

Most notorious

Similarly, nominated MCA Mary Ariviza has been suspended for 21 working days for her conduct during the elections of an acting speaker on September 25 last year when she protested her name being nominated by Mr Imwatok to contest for the position.

No Allowances

The suspensions mean that the MCAs will forfeit their allowances that come with committee and Assembly sittings. Those suspended for 10 days will miss 10 committee sittings and six Assembly sittings while Ariviza will miss 15 committee sittings and nine Assembly sittings.

“Procedure and practice demand that such members be declared strangers and suspended from county service according to Standing Order 115 of the Assembly. They should withdraw from the precincts of the Assembly and forfeit right to access and allowances payable during such time,” said deputy Speaker Jogn Kamangu after the adoption of the report on Wednesday.
