Nairobi County Assembly as Speaker Elachi has stood her ground insisting that the intended changes by Jubilee Party have fallen short of requirements of provisions of the laws governing the assembly and the current interim leaders will continue serving the party. This comes after on Wednesday Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphel Tuju confirmed that the leadership changes were final. Mihango MCA Paul Kados was picked as the Majority Whip and deputized by South B MCA Waithera Chege. She also highlighted that the intended changes by the Jubilee Party fall short of the requirements of Standing Order 20. The Speaker noted as much as she acknowledged that a political party has the onus of nominating its leadership in the Assembly as well as the decision to change party leadership in the assembly is a preserve of a political party.
