  • The Speaker was impeached early this month over claims of gross misconduct and nepotism.

Nyandarua County Assembly was on Tuesday engulfed in chaos after ousted speaker Ndegwa Wahome made his way back to the house.

Wahome was accompanied by a group of rowdy youth was caused drama at the assembly premises.

The youth reportedly brought down the assembly’s main gate after Wahome was locked out despite being reinstated by the High Court.

Also locked out of the assembly premises were 5 MCAs believed to be supporting Wahome.


The MCAs are also believed to be plotting an ouster motion against Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia.

Police rushed to the scene and lobbed teargas canister in the air in a bid to disperse the rowdy youth.

Early this month, the assembly impeached Wahome over claims of gross misconduct, abuse of office and nepotism.

31 out of the 38 MCAs voted in favor of his impeachment.

"The speaker has outrightly shown that he is unable to hold office. That is why we want him out. All he keeps asking from the executive is for more money yet he cannot account for the ones he has been allocated. We cannot allow this anymore. He has been discriminating against some of us in county assembly functions while favouring others. Is this fair?" Nyandarua County Assembly Majority Leader Edinard King’ori said while pushing the impeachment motion.
