Wrangles in the Homa Bay County Assembly persisted with two factions differing on a purported ouster of the Speaker Mrs Elizabeth Ayoo.
While one faction of the ward representatives carried out the said impeachment on allegations of incompetence and integrity issues on her part, another section maintained the move was illegal as the House lacked the required numbers.
The Nation has however established that “greed for money by some ward representatives”, outcome of Governor Cyprian Awiti’s appeal at the Supreme Court and 2022 succession have everything to do with the current altercations.
Thursday’s sitting was chaired by Deputy Speaker Evance Marieba.
The move that culminated in the alleged impeachment motion followed several weeks of wrangling at the assembly that also led to the ‘theft’ of the Mace.
