By NDUNG'U GACHANEMore by this AuthorMembers of Murang’a County Assembly opposed to Governor Mwangi Wa Iria’s administration have been removed from the House committees which they headed as chairpersons and replaced by others. Led by Gaturi MCA Kiiru Mbembe, who headed powerful Finance Committee, the six MCAs have been replaced by their colleagues who are perceived to be Mr Wa Iria’s staunch supporters. Mr Kiiru has been replaced by Kinyona Ward MCA John Ruoho, Mr Peter Githuka (Health) has been replaced by Mr Daniel Chege while Ms Jane Muigai (Water) has been replaced by Peter Mweri. COURT PETITION“Plans are at an advanced stage to challenge our ouster in court since we believe that we were removed from the committees unprocedurally,” the MCA told the Nation. A motion to review the committees' leadership was passed by 30 members and opposed by eight, who were mostly those removed.
