Tension at Nairobi Assembly As Speaker Mutura Promises Disciplinary Action against Staff Aligned to Majority Leader

Tension is high at the Nairobi County Assembly following the release on Bail of the Hon. Mutura after his arrest and arraignment before Court. Sources indicate the Board, chaired by Hon. Mutura has vowed to deal ruthlessly with staff allied to Majority Leader, a move that has caused fear amongst staff.
Amongst those likely to be fired are Tina Madara, who is accused of telling the DCI that Hon. Mutura was in Office on the day of his attempted arrest, and Mr. Romeo Castro, the former acting Clerk who is currently interdicted and suspended, accused of planning and orchestrating the arrest of the Hon. Mutura. Others likely to be fired including staff in the ICT, Clerk’s Chamber department who are seen as friendly to the Majority Leader, as well as sergeants at arms amongst others.
Sources indicate the Board is expected to meet as soon as next week to chart a way forward regarding these plans, with the Clerk, Mr. Gichana, said to have made the threats very clear in a meeting held with heads of Department. Also on the firing line are staff who have challenged Mr. Gichana’s appointment in Court, who sources indicate have already been told to await their letters. These include Ms. Ada Onyango, Ms. Daisy Muema, Mr. Fred Macharia, Ms. Jolinda Wangui, Mr. Farah Gabow, Ms. Judith Aron, Mr. Ahmed Makokha, Ms. Hellen Mutie, Mr. Eric Njoga, Mr. Brian Yambo, Mr. Edward Atanga amongst others.
