In Gaturi ward, the Governor worked with the former MCA Rosemary Wakuthii Njine
after he broke ranks with the late Cryus Kiiru Mwangi who passed in September
last year.
In the bursary allocation, Iria handed over the cheques to the Gaturi
ward MCA elect Esther Mwihaki Kamau who promised to support Murang’a County
Government activities.
Muisrael broke ranks with the governor after
she questioned why the county government allocated Sh26 million for the bursary
kitty when the county assembly members
had not received their salaries since September last year.
Kongo, he explained, was planning to
mobilise the MCAs to impeach him
following instruction by individuals to sabotage his ascending to Presidency after his second term comes to
an end.
“I will not entertain nonsense as I am
ready to work for the Murang’a people until
my term comes to an end. The night meetings funded by those people only
interested in positions will not scare me as the majority of the MCAs are
interested in service delivery,” said the governor.
The Mountain Journal learnt that the MCAs are plotting to impeach senior county finance official
for allegedly frustrating remittance of their their salaries and allowances.
Several planning meetings have taken place awaiting their resume business after the end
of the December holiday.
