The Bill has caused jitters among the more than 3,400 MCAs across the 47 counties. By FRANCIS MUREITHI More by this AuthorThe County Assemblies’ Forum has moved to constitutional court for intervention after President Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law a Bill to recall misbehaving ward representatives. The County Government Amendment Bill 2017, which the Senate passed on April 21 and in the National Assembly on June 30, was sponsored by Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen. The officials said the forum is optimistic it will get favourable orders from the constitutional court stopping the operationalisation of the Bill. “Our prayers as County Assemblies Forum is for the constitutional court to stop the operationalisation of the law until it is clearly interpreted,” said Mr Ndegwa.
