Chaos Erupts in Nyamira County Assembly as Speaker is Ejected

The Nyamira County Assembly was thrown into disarray. Members forcefully ejected Speaker Enock Okero. This occurred during a tumultuous session marked by allegations of misconduct. The incident occurred during a morning assembly meeting. Okero denied Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) the opportunity to speak. This ignited a wave of unrest among the representatives.

As tensions escalated, MCAs decided to take action. They occupied the Speaker’s seat. They also initiated a motion for his suspension. This dramatic turn of events was not an isolated incident. It was a continuation of the political strife that has gripped the assembly. This is especially true after a failed impeachment try against Governor Amos Nyaribo.

The assembly’s atmosphere became increasingly charged as members expressed their frustrations. Chaos ensued. Bonyamatuta Ward Representative Julius Matwere stepped in to replace Okero as Chair. This move further complicated the situation. He initiated a motion to suspend Okero. The motion also aimed to suspend two other assembly members. This action highlighted the deep divisions within the assembly.

The situation escalated. A member of the Speaker’s panel seized the Mace, a symbol of authority in the assembly. Okero’s official gown and car keys were also taken from him. Physical confrontations eventually restored some semblance of order. Nonetheless, the assembly remained on edge. This reflected the underlying political tensions.

This incident highlights the ongoing struggles within the Nyamira County Assembly. Political rivalries and allegations of misconduct continue to fuel discord. The chaotic scenes are a stark reminder of the challenges facing local governance. There is a need for effective conflict resolution mechanisms to keep order and functionality within the assembly.
