During the scuffle in the chambers Mweiga MCA Njuguna Kawanjiku punched Nominated MCA Beth Nyawira angering other nominated MCAs. The male MCAs then quickly moved to try and cover up the scuffle denying that female MCAs had been intimidated and kicked out of committee seats. But this changed minutes later when women MCAs questioned the procedure of removing a chairperson of a committee, turning the meeting into a shouting match. The male MCAs thereafter issued a press statement denying claims that they were ejecting female MCAs from committee positions insisting that they were deliberating on the Development Plan. Out of the 15 women MCAS, only three were elected on August 8, with the other 12 being nominated.
