A nominated MCA has moved to court in a bid to challenge a decision by Amani National Congress Party that slapped her with a 30 day suspension.
The MCA Jackline Mwakha Okanya said the decision was unconstitutional adding it was pure work of corrupt individuals who are not amused by her sustained war against corruption at the County assembly.
Speaker Morris Buluma and party secretary General Barrack Muluka have both been sued in a matter that was treated under a certificate of urgency before Chief Magistrate Bildad Ochieng.
The magistrate barred the Speaker from suspending Mwakha before the petition is heard and determined and restrained Mr. Muluka from issuing threats to the MCA who doubles as the minority whip-elect.
Trouble started when 19 ANC ward reps met on March 15 and elected Mwakha as the chief whip of the minority party, removing Geoffrey Obonyo from the position.
Mwakha wrote a letter to Muluka and Buluma and attached minutes of the meeting that showed her fellow MCAs had agreed to the leadership change.
But Muluka wrote to the speaker and urged him to ignore the proposed leadership changes and maintain the status quo.
